Note

For a firmer crust, you can bake the cookie crust at 350ðF (175ðC) for 8-10 minutes before adding the ice cream. Let it cool completely before proceeding.

Use a soft-serve consistency for the ice cream to make spreading easier. If the ice cream is too hard, let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before assembling.

Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 1 week. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before cutting for cleaner slices.

Substitute pecans with walnuts, almonds, or sprinkles for different flavor variations.

For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free cookies, vegan butter, and non-dairy ice cream and whipped topping.
