Aunt Kathey's Famous Ice Cream Cake

So it's really only "famous" in our family, but I do have alot of family! Once you try this ice cream treat, you will thank my Aunt Kathey! When I was younger and we would go to spend time in the Cleveland area, I always hoped my Aunt would be making this dessert.
Some of you who have the Mom's Cookbook, already have this recipe, but I have had a request for it this week and figured I would post it to the blog today. Who doesn't love Oreos and ice cream? You can make the ice cream inside any flavor that you want. I prefer coffee ice cream, my youngest daughter prefers mint chocolate chip. I have made it with: vanilla, strawberry, black cherry and neopolitan. They were all delicious! Enjoy!
