Easy Ice Cream Yule Log

 

1 1/2  qt.  (about 6 c.) cherry, chocolate, vanilla or your choice

of ice cream

1 envelope dessert topping mix

peppermint flavoring

green food coloring

1 c. whipping cream

1/4 c. sifted icing sugar

1/4 c. cocoa

1/4 tsp. vanilla

pinch of cinnamon

toasted slivered  almonds

small plastic holly or poinsettia for decoration, or whatever

 

Remove ends from two (14 oz) cans.  Stand upright and fill with firm

ice cream (any flavor you would like), pressing down well with the back

of a warm spoon.  Cover and freeze overnight until very firm. Wrap

with a hot wet cloth and unmold. Return to freezer to firm up again.

 

Prepare dessert topping as per package instructions, add peppermint to

taste and a few drops of green food coloring. Press ice cream rolls

together end to end, and cover with mint topping.  Return to freezer.

 

Beat whipping cream until partially still and beat in icing sugar mixed

with cocoa.  Flavor with vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon.  Cover ice

cream roll thickly with cocoa cream frosting. 

 

Rough with a fork and sprinkle with toasted slivered almond.  Garnish

with holly or whatever.  Return to freezer, freeze until firm.

 

Then carefully wrap in foil to store for several days.  Makes 8

servings.
