"Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum..."?! If you've always dreamed of the excitement of a pirate's life, wait till you get a bite of our Layered Rum Freeze. It's a grown-up frozen fantasy.

What You'll Need

1 (16-ounce) pound cake, cut into 16 slices
1/2 cup light or dark rum, divided
1 (16-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (8-ounce) container chopped mixed candied fruit
1 cup chopped pecans, divided

What to Do

Place pound cake slices on a cutting board and drizzle with 1/4 cup rum. Place 1 cup whipped topping in a small bowl; cover and chill.
In a medium bowl, combine remaining whipped topping and 1/4 cup rum. Place half of mixture in another medium bowl and mix in candied fruit. Mix 3/4 cup pecans and other half of whipped topping mixture.
Line a 3-quart mold or bowl with plastic wrap. Line mold with 12 cake slices. Spoon fruit mixture over cake then top with remaining 4 cake slices. Top with pecan mixture then cover and freeze for at least 6 hours.
Remove from freezer and invert over a serving platter; remove mold and plastic wrap. Frost with reserved 1 cup whipped topping and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup pecans; return to freezer for at least 2 hours, until topping has frozen. Serve, or cover and keep frozen until ready to use.
