Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (177ðC) if baking cookies, or use pre-made Chips Ahoy cookies.
  2. Crush 20 cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
  3. Mix cookie crumbs with melted margarine until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  4. Press the crumb mixture firmly onto the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie plate to form an even crust.
  5. Stand the remaining 12 cookies upright around the edge of the pan to create a decorative border.
  6. Spread 3/4 cup of chocolate fudge topping evenly over the cookie crust.
  7. Freeze the prepared crust for about 15 minutes to set the fudge layer.
  8. Meanwhile, let 1 quart of ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for easier spreading.
  9. Spread the softened ice cream in a thick, even layer over the fudge-covered crust.
  10. Return the cake to the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up the first ice cream layer.
  11. Scoop the remaining ice cream into balls and arrange them over the frozen ice cream layer to fill any gaps.
  12. Freeze the cake until firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
  13. Before serving, garnish with whipped topping, remaining fudge, strawberries, or maraschino cherries.
  14. Let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before slicing and serving immediately.
