One of my family’s favorite ice cream flavors throughout the year, as well as in the summer is Neapolitan flavored ice cream. Plus, in the summer we happen to love all cold and frozen treats, as well. I mean ice cream, ices and more frozen treats take center stage.
We also enjoy pudding and cookies, too for dessert. I mean who doesn’t enjoy pudding or cookies come dessert time any time of the year.
So, I decided to try a new recipe for my family that includes pudding, cookies and the Neapolitan ice cream look. Plus, this dessert is frozen for the summer time. Moreover it is portioned perfectly for all in neatly made dessert cups.
What more could you want in a dessert for adults and kids alike? So, how do I make this yummy Neapolitan Frozen Dessert?
Well, this one is made in layers. I use my cupcake pan with cupcake liners. The first layer is a cookie layer of vanilla sandwich cookies for the vanilla/white color.
The next layer includes chocolate pudding spooned on top of the cookie layer for the chocolate layer.
The last layer consists of Whipped Topping colored with pink gel food coloring.
Then, I also sprinkle on rainbow sprinkles before freezing all to indeed make a Neapolitan Frozen Dessert Treat.
