Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Cake with Chocolate Fudge Drizzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 package of chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreo), crushed
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 quarts of cookies and cream ice cream, softened
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Place in the freezer to set for 30 minutes.
- Once the crust is set, spread the softened cookies and cream ice cream evenly over the crust. Return to the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until smooth and fully melted.
- Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until well combined. Let the chocolate fudge sauce cool to room temperature.
- Once the ice cream cake is fully frozen, remove it from the springform pan and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle the chocolate fudge sauce over the top of the cake.
- Slice and serve immediately, or return to the freezer until ready to serve. Enjoy!
