Ingredients

1.5 pint Vanilla ice cream
1.5 pint Chocolate or chocolate fudge ice cream
18 count Chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
3 pack Peanut butter cups (1.6 ounce each)
1 medium Banana
0.25 container Ice cream hard-shell topping (such as Magic Shell)
0.25 cup Chopped nuts (peanuts, pistachios, walnuts, etc.) optional

Directions

1
Remove the vanilla and chocolate ice cream from their containers and place them in two separate large bowls.
2
Let the ice cream stand at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to soften slightly, stirring occasionally until scoopable.
3
While the ice cream softens, place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a closable plastic bag.
4
Crush the cookies with a rolling pin or meat tenderizer until coarse.
5
Coarsely chop the peanut butter cups with a knife or kitchen scissors.
6
Slice the banana into thin rounds.
7
Spoon half of the crushed cookies into the bottom of a 9x5 inch loaf pan, pressing down gently to form an even layer.
8
Spread half of the softened chocolate ice cream over the cookie layer.
9
Stir the chopped peanut butter cups into the softened vanilla ice cream.
10
Spoon the vanilla-peanut butter mixture over the chocolate ice cream layer, pressing down lightly with the back of a spoon to remove air pockets.
11
Sprinkle the remaining crushed chocolate cookies evenly over the vanilla layer.
12
Stir the sliced bananas into the remaining softened chocolate ice cream.
13
Spoon the banana-chocolate mixture over the cookie layer, filling the pan to the top.
14
Smooth the top surface with the back of a spoon.
15
If desired, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top.
16
Cover the loaf pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
17
To serve, immerse the loaf pan in warm water for 10-15 seconds (being careful not to get water on the ice cream).
18
Invert the pan onto a serving platter and lift off to release the ice cream loaf.
19
Drizzle with ice cream hard-shell topping.
20
Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before slicing with a knife warmed in hot water.

Note

Use a 9x5 inch loaf pan for the best shape. Line the pan with parchment paper before assembling to make removal easier.

If you don't have an ice cream hard-shell topping, you can drizzle with melted chocolate or hot fudge sauce.

For a vegan version, ensure all ice creams, cookies, and peanut butter cups are certified vegan.

Store leftovers in the freezer wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to 2 weeks.

Warming the knife between slices ensures clean cuts through the frozen layers.
