This ice cream cake features layers of cookies and cream ice cream sandwiched between chocolate cookie crusts. The cake takes about 4 hours to prepare and freeze, serving 8-10 people.

Ingredients

2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 quart cookies and cream ice cream, softened
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
1 cup whipped cream, for topping
Additional crushed cookies for garnish

Instructions

Prepare the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
Layer the Ice Cream: Spread half of the cookies and cream ice cream over the crust, smoothing it out evenly. Follow with a layer of vanilla ice cream, spreading it evenly as well.
Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for about 2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
Add More Layers: After the initial freeze, add the remaining cookies and cream ice cream on top of the vanilla layer, smoothing it out. Freeze again for another 2 hours.
Finish with Topping: Once the cake is fully frozen, remove it from the springform pan. Top with whipped cream and garnish with additional crushed cookies.
Serve: Slice the cake and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious cookies and cream ice cream cake!
