There are no specific quantities for this "recipe" - the amount of everything you'll need depends on the size of your loaf pan, and how much ice cream and whipped cream you want in each slice.  The ice cream flavor or flavors you use are totally up to you as well.

You'll need waxed paper, a loaf pan, a package of ladyfingers, about 2 pints of ice cream, 1/2 - 1 cup of heavy cream, green food coloring and Easter candy.

Line the loaf pan with waxed paper hanging over the edges so you'll be able to remove the cake when it's done.

Split the ladyfingers in half, and place them cross ways across the bottom of the pan, and standing up straight along the edges to give the impression of a basket.

Press ice cream into the lined loaf pan - it helps if it's slightly soft, but you don't want it melting.

Whip the cream, and add a few drops of green food coloring.

Spread the cream over the top of the ice cream.

Scatter jelly beans, chocolate rabbits, etc, over the top.

Fold over the waxed paper, and place in the freezer over night until solid.

Lift the basket out of the loaf pan to serve.  If you like, you can make a handle for the basket out of whatever you have around - pipe cleaners work well.
