Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cups Vanilla ice cream
- 4 cups Chocolate ice cream
- 2 cups Whipped topping (or whipped cream)
- 0.5 cups Chocolate syrup
- 0.5 cups Sprinkles or crushed candies (optional)
Instructions
Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly or line it with parchment paper.
In a food processor, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
In a medium bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form a crust. Place the pan in the freezer to firm up for 10 minutes.
Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for about 5 minutes. Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cookie crust to form the first layer. Return the pan to the freezer for 15 minutes.
Remove the chocolate ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for about 5 minutes. Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the vanilla layer to form the second layer. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Return the pan to the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm.
Once the ice cream layers are firm, spread the whipped topping evenly over the top of the cake to create a smooth final layer.
Drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped topping and sprinkle with sprinkles or crushed candies if desired.
Cover the springform pan with plastic wrap and freeze the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
Before serving, remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Release the springform pan and transfer the cake to a serving plate.
Slice and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
