Ingredients

• 1.5 quarts Mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
• 20 cookies Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
• 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 cups Whipped topping (e.g., whipped cream or Cool Whip)
• 0.5 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted (for drizzle, optional)
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake. Set aside.

Step 2

Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 4

Press the cookie crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Place the crust in the freezer to firm up for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Spread the softened mint chocolate chip ice cream evenly over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Ensure the ice cream is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Spread the whipped topping over the ice cream layer, creating a smooth, even top layer. If desired, use an offset spatula to create decorative swirls.

Step 7

Place the pan in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until the cake is completely frozen and set.

Step 8

Before serving, run a knife along the edges of the pan to loosen the cake, then carefully release the springform ring.

Step 9

If using, drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the cake and garnish with fresh mint leaves for a decorative touch.

Step 10

Slice and serve immediately. Store any leftovers in the freezer.
