Directions
-
Preheat the oven is not required, but ensure your freezer is ready.
-
Crush 20 Chips Ahoy cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin inside a zip-top bag.
-
Combine the cookie crumbs with melted margarine in a bowl until the mixture resembles wet sand.
-
Press the cookie mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan or deep pie plate.
-
Stand the remaining 12 whole cookies around the edge of the pan for decoration, if desired.
-
Spread 3/4 cup of chocolate fudge topping evenly over the prepared cookie crust.
-
Place the pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes to set the fudge layer.
-
Meanwhile, let 1 quart of ice cream soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes until spreadable.
-
Remove the crust from the freezer and spread the softened ice cream evenly over the fudge layer.
-
Return the cake to the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the first ice cream layer.
-
Scoop the remaining ice cream into balls and arrange them over the set ice cream layer to fill any gaps.
-
Freeze the cake until firm, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
-
To serve, run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen, then release the springform clasp.
-
Garnish with whipped topping, additional fudge sauce, strawberries, or maraschino cherries.
-
Slice and serve immediately for the best texture.
