Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor.
Transfer the crushed cookies to a mixing bowl and combine them with the melted butter, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form the crust.
Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Drizzle the chocolate fudge sauce over the ice cream layer, spreading it gently to create an even layer.
Top the fudge layer with whipped cream, spreading it evenly across the dish.
Sprinkle the dessert with chopped peanuts and chocolate shavings or sprinkles, if desired.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
Remove the dessert from the freezer 5β10 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve immediately.
