April Fool’s Day Hamburger and Fries

April Fool’s Day Hamburger and Fries

I had so much fun tricking my family with my April Fool’s Lasagna that I had to keep the fun going.  I served this for lunch and my boys absolutely loved it.

Ingredients-

6 vanilla and chocolate ice cream sandwiches

4 slices pound cake

Strawberry jam

Directions-

Hamburger Patties-

  1. Pulse the ice cream sandwiches in a food processor until they resemble hamburger meat.
  2. Use a large cookie scooper to form balls.
  3. Place the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. 
  4. Smush the balls slightly to resemble hamburger patties.
  5. Freeze for 2 hours to harden.
  6. Remove from freezer when ready to serve and use a large spatula to transfer to plates.
  7. Note: My children usually eat hamburger patties without buns.  If you want to use buns you could use the pound cake as buns, use sweet Hawaiian rolls, or make a cookie type bun.

French Fries-

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Cut the slices of pound cake into ½ inch slices.
  3. Spread the slices out on the baking sheet. Spray with butter spray or drizzle with melted butter.
  4. Bake for 5-8 minutes.
  5. Serve with strawberry jam as ketchup.
