Ice cream cake is the best of both worlds...ice cream in the form of a cake! This cookies and cream ice cream cake is exploding with layers of oreo cookies, ice cream, and gooey fudge sauce.
Prepare the crust by adding the crushed oreo crumbs and melted butter to a large bowl. Stir until the cookie crumbs have absorbed the melted butter.
Press into the bottom and up the sides of a springform pan.
Add about 1/2 cup chocolate sauce on top of the crust, and spread evenly.
Place in the freezer for 10 minutes while you prepare the ice cream filling.
To prepare the ice cream filling, add the softened ice cream into a large bowl. Fold in 1 cup of cool whip.
Add the ice cream mixture on top of the cold crust. Spread evenly into the pan. Return back to the freezer for 1 hour. Make sure the cake is placed on a flat surface so the ice cream freezes evenly.
After an hour, top the ice cream with the remaining cool whip. Drizzle with additional chocolate sauce and crushed Oreos for a delicious presentation.
Freeze for an additional 3 hours or overnight. Slice frozen and enjoy!
