Does your family have traditions that aren’t tied to specific holidays or events? Someone asked me this question not too long ago, and I thought about our summer road trips and german pancake breakfasts. Then I thought about when I was growing up and realized one of our “traditions” from my youth was ice cream and family movie night!
My parents did not subscribe to a television service, so the only tv we watched was movies. And movies always meant ice cream. In fact, almost everything meant ice cream. Ice cream was a pretty regular part of my life as a kid. I remember a neighbor joking that it was our family’s version of beer. In his family they would all sit down and have a beer after dinner, and in ours, we had a bowl of ice cream. And weekends was ice cream sundaes and movie nights.
Some things never change, I still associate ice cream with movie nights.
We try to hold a regular family movie night, but with differing cinematic tastes and busy schedules it can get tricky. However, as you know, I am a big fan of Walmart Family Mobile, and while I love my Samsung Galaxy S5 for how great the camera on it is, and how easy it is to navigate, I also love the service plan. The Walmart Family Mobile PLUS Plan = Unlimited Talk, Text, & Data which includes up to 10GB of 4G LTE plus a free movie on VUDU every month ($7 value) per line for $49.88.
You can stream a new release movies on your smart TV or through a Roku or other such device, which is awesome. And because it includes a free movie once a month my movie night dilemmas are solved. I can’t complain about the money I wasted if the movie isn’t to my liking. I don’t have to hope I can find the movie. And since it is something we stream, I don’t have to find time to run out and pick a movie. And since it is one free movie per month it helps us keep our traditions alive and thriving.
And speaking of traditions, there is ice cream! Now, once a month I try to plan a fun ice cream treat to go with the movie. I am not always great at it, and sometimes it is just scoops of ice cream and all you can pour (before mom grabs it away) sprinkles. But this month I thought it would be fun to make something extra special.
I was shopping and saw Cookie Butter on sale for $1 a jar! I am obsessed with cookie butter, have been ever since I was in Belgium and had it on a waffle. Can’t. Get. Enough. So I bought all the jars on the shelf.
My kids and I were waxing on and on about how much we love cookie butter, and my son said how much he wished we could find cookie butter flavored ice cream. So I knew I had to do something cookie butter for our next family movie night ice cream treat.
This ice cream cake has cookie butter ice cream, a crunchy cookie butter center layer, and a hard shell cookie butter topping! And it rocks. Plus it literally only takes about 10-15 minutes to put it together, so it is one of those treats that looks super impressive, but is actually really easy.
Try it! I think you will find that it is just the rich, delicious, indulgence you would expect from something with cookie butter.

Would you be so kind as to tell me where you can purchase that lovely cake server,”I’m here for dessert”? Thank you so much. Lisa
Rachael says
Hi Lisa, I got it at Kneaders bakery, which is a restaurant near where I live that also has some gift options and ideas. Where are you? I could probably mail one to you if you really wanted one. That is if they still have them. I believe it was $17 or so.

This recipe looks great and the picture is raising my blood sugar as I type 🙂 May I ask what cookie butter is? Is it like the Bishoff spread? I would love to make this for the kiddos! Cescily is graduating and this would be great for her party.
Rachael says
Yes, exactly, biscoff spread and cookie butter are interchangeable terms! It just depends on the brand that makes it.
Stephanie says
Wow.I would never think to combine the two, but I love both and this is definitely a must-try. It’s a great way to do ice cream for movie night! #client
