- 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce
- Whipped cream, for topping (optional)
- Additional Oreo cookies, crushed, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Place the pan in the freezer to set while you prepare the filling.
- Layering:
- Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften slightly.
- Spread half of the softened ice cream over the Oreo crust in an even layer.
- Drizzle half of the chocolate fudge sauce over the ice cream layer.
- Repeat:
- Add another layer with the remaining ice cream and top with the remaining chocolate fudge sauce.
- Freeze:
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze the cake for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
- Serve:
- Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for a few minutes to make slicing easier.
- Optionally, top with whipped cream and crushed Oreo cookies for garnish.
