Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 gallon chocolate or vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1 cup crispy rice cereal
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate syrup (optional, for drizzling)
- Whipped cream and sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or baking dish to form a crust.
- Freeze the crust for 10–15 minutes until firm.
- Spread half of the softened ice cream over the crust. Sprinkle half of the crispy rice cereal on top.
- Add the remaining ice cream and top with the rest of the cereal. Smooth the surface.
- Freeze for at least 1–2 hours until firm.
- In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit 1 minute, then stir until smooth to make ganache.
- Pour ganache over the frozen cake and spread evenly. Return to freezer for another hour.
- Before serving, drizzle with chocolate syrup and garnish with whipped cream and sprinkles if desired.
- Slice and serve immediately from the freezer.
Notes
- Soften ice cream just enough to spread — avoid melting it completely.
- You can use any ice cream flavor for variety (e.g., mint chip, cookies & cream).
- For a nutty twist, add chopped nuts between the layers.
- Use a warm knife for easier slicing.
