- 1 cup of hot fudge sauce
- 1 cup of whipped cream

- Warm 1 cup of hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 30 seconds. Pour the hot fudge sauce over the vanilla ice cream layer and spread it evenly. Place the pan back in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
- Soften 1.5 quarts of chocolate ice cream and spread it evenly over the hot fudge layer. Place the pan back in the freezer for 30 minutes to set.
- Spread 1 cup of whipped cream over the chocolate ice cream layer. Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs and chopped nuts (if using) on top of the whipped cream.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream cake is firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream cake sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to slice. Enjoy!
