Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Ice cream (any flavors)
- 2 cups Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), crushed
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 cups Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 0.5 cups Chocolate syrup
- 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cups Sprinkles (optional)
- 8 pieces Maraschino cherries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes until slightly softened, but not melted.
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with the melted butter until combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form a crust. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
Spread 3 cups of softened ice cream evenly over the crust using a spatula. Freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
Add another 2 cups of whipped topping over the ice cream layer, smoothing it out evenly. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with chopped nuts or sprinkles if desired. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Spread the remaining 3 cups of softened ice cream as the next layer. Smooth the top with a spatula and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the cake is completely set.
Before serving, remove the springform pan's outer ring. Decorate the top with additional whipped topping, sprinkles, and maraschino cherries if desired.
Cut the cake into slices using a sharp knife dipped in warm water for clean cuts. Serve immediately and enjoy!
