Cool and creamy, this easy ice cream dessert will be a crowd-pleasing treat. A rich cookie crust, ice cream, whipped topped, hot fudge sauce, and more cookies make a fun dessert to share. I’m proud to partner with Acorn and Edy’s/Dreyer’s to bring you this delicious idea! If you live west of the Rockies, or in Texas, you will see Dreyer’s on the shelf, but if you’re to the East, it will be Edy’s.

Psst, you can top with our homemade hot fudge and homemade whipped cream for an irresistible treat.

ICE CREAM DESSERT INGREDIENTS

You’ll need:

• One package (15.5 ounces) chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed, divided
• ¼ cup butter, melted  
• Two (1.5 quart) Edy’s/Dreyer’s Slow Churned® Vanilla Ice Cream, softened 
• 2 jars (11-12 ounces) hot fudge ice cream topping, warmed, divided
• 1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

I love the taste of classic vanilla ice cream in this recipe, but you could also try Edy’s/Dreyer’s Rocky Road for another yummy option!

Edy’s/Dreyer’s whole new line called The Rocky Road Collection, inspired by Original Rocky Road with flavors like Brownie Brick Road and Cookie Cobblestone, is mouthwatering — alone or in a recipe! 

Edy’s/Dreyer’s Slow Churned ice cream has ⅓ fewer calories and ½ the fat but with all of the creaminess and goodness of regular ice cream. We start with fresh milk and cream, then mix our ice cream slowly, resulting in Slow Churned perfection! You can pick up all these must-have ingredients at your local Walmart!

HOW TO MAKE THIS ICE CREAM DESSERT RECIPE

STEP ONE: Place the cookies into a food processor and pulse until a crumb texture. Remove ¼ cup of cookie crumbs to be used as a sprinkle topping.  For the remaining crumbs, run the food processor and drizzle in the melted butter, and run for about 15 seconds.

STEP TWO: Press the cookie crumbs into the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan. Place the pan in the freezer for about 10 minutes while you let the ice cream soften. To soften the ice cream, remove the lid from the ice cream and let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. See the tip to further soften the ice cream below.

STEP THREE: Remove the 9×13 pan from the freezer and using an ice cream scoop place scooped ice cream all over the crust and then spread the softened ice cream over the cookie crust. Lay a piece of cling wrap on top of the ice cream and place in the freezer to freeze until solid again (about 2 hours).

STEP FOUR: Next warm the jars of hot fudge ice cream topping per the instructions on the jar. Measure out 2 cups of the warmed topping, reserve the remaining fudge to pour over the finished dessert.  Pour the warmed fudge over the top of the frozen ice cream and spread it into an even layer. Freeze again until solid (about one hour).

STEP FIVE: Next remove the dessert and spread the thawed whipped topping evenly on top of the dessert. Sprinkle with the reserved ¼ cup of crushed cookies. Place back into the freezer for two hours or until ready to serve.

STEP SIX: When ready to serve, remove the dessert from the freezer and thaw in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or on the countertop for 15 minutes. Drizzle with remaining warmed fudge topping as desired.

STORAGE

IN THE FREEZER: Keep covered in the freezer so it stays fresh. It’s best when enjoyed within a week.

Simple and rich, this delicious homemade ice cream dessert is the perfect cool treat for a hot summer day. A cookie crust is topped with irresistible vanilla ice cream, a layer of whipped topping, hot fudge sauce, and cookie crumbles for a mouthwatering dessert you’ll love.
