Ingredients

Directions
Step 1
1. Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving enough overhang on the sides to cover the top of the log later.

2. Take your first pint of slightly softened ice cream and spread an even layer (about 1 inch thick) into the bottom of the pan using a spatula.
Step 3
3. Place a layer of cookies on top of the ice cream, cutting them as needed to fit snugly.

Step 5
5. Fold the overhanging plastic wrap over the top to cover the log completely.
Step 6
6. Freeze the pan for at least 4 hours or until the ice cream log is firm and set.
Step 7
7. When ready to serve, remove the log from the freezer and gently lift it out of the pan using the plastic wrap. Place it on a serving platter.
Step 8
8. Drizzle chocolate ganache or syrup over the top of the log and decorate with whipped cream, sprinkles, nuts, or your choice of toppings.
Step 9
