Ingredients

  • 1 package creme-filled sandwich cookies
  • ¼ cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup fudge sauce, slightly heated
  • 1 (48 oz.) tub Crystal Peppermint Blizzard Ice Cream, softened

Products used

  • Peppermint Blizzard Ice Cream

  • Heavy Whipping Cream

Directions

  • Step 1

    Place the entire package of cookies in the base of a food processor and pulse until the cookies are coarse crumbs.

  • Step 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir to combine. In a 9-inch pie pan, or springform pan, evenly press chocolate crumbs firmly in the bottom of a pie plate. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer to set, about one hour. Once the crust is set, spread a layer of fudge sauce on the crust. Return to the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.  
  • Step 3

    Spoon softened ice cream into springform pan, on top of chocolate crust. Smooth ice cream with a spatula, cover and return to the freezer to set fully (3 to 4 hours).

  • Step 4

    Combine chocolate chips and Crystal Creamery heavy cream in a heatproof metal bowl, and place over a boiling pot of water—stirring often to allow the chocolate chips to fully melt. Remove from heat. Stir in the butter, whisking until melted and chocolate is fully combined.
  • Step 5

    Allow chocolate ganache to cool to room temperature. Spread ganache over the top of frozen ice cream with a spatula in an even layer. Top with crushed cookies, peppermint and chocolate shavings and return to freezer. Let set overnight.
