Ingredients

  • 1 qt vanilla of ice cream
  • 1 qt chocolate of ice cream
  • 20 Oreo cookies crushed
  • 1 11.75oz jar of hot fudge topping
  • 1 tub of Cool Whip

Instructions

  • Line a 9” springform pan with plastic wrap. Set aside.
  • Remove the chocolate ice cream from the freezer and thaw for 15-20 minutes. (This will help dramatically when it comes to spreading.)
  • Spread a layer of chocolate ice cream evenly over the bottom of the pan. Return to the freezer for 1 hour.
  • Remove the lid from the hot fudge topping and microwave for 20-25 seconds. Spread a layer of fudge evenly over the chocolate ice cream layer. Sprinkle the fudge with the Oreo crumbs. Return to the freezer for 1 hour.
  • Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and thaw for 15-20 minutes.
  • Spread a final layer of vanilla ice cream over the cake. Return the cake to the freezer for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
  • Before adding the frosting, remove the cake from the springform pan and remove the plastic wrap. Transfer the cake to a serving platter. Spread an even layer of Cool Whip over the cake. Decorate with leftover cookie crumbs. Place back in the freezer until ready to serve.
