I made this recipe for Father's day and it was a big hit. I used oreo's for the crust. Then mint chocolate chip ice cream then another layer of crushed oreo's more mint chip ice cream and surrounded the cake with Keebler's Mint Wafer cookies (similar to girl scout thin mints). Loved it!

Super recipe. We made this with Moose Tracks ice cream and used butter instead of margarine for the crust and it was fabulous - much better than the B&R's ice cream cake we had purchased for $20+ for the last birthday.

great base & can really mix it up a lot w different flavors. i wanted to make a neoplitan one so i did an oreo crust, then the fudge topping spread over it (crust + topping was the best part!) - a layer of choc ice cream, a layer of homemade strawberry sauce (recipe on this site), layer of vanilla ice cream, choc frosting spread all over that, strawberry sauce on that, then little puffs of redi whip around edge & big puff in the middle. it was well-loved, but i learned that the strawberry sauce was a bad idea - frozen strawberries are REALLY cold & they just didn't work. next time i'll make the sauce to put on at the end. i was thinking a pretzel crust w a layer of peanut butter then chubby hubby ice cream might be delicious - will try that soon! i'm so glad i found the recipe - i know i'll use it lots. thank you!

Wonderful recipe that leaves plenty of room for creation. I used chocolate ice cream as my first layer, coated it with fudge, then added a different layer of coffee ice cream. My boyfriend requests this dessert for every special occasion! The cookie crumb crust coated with fudge is DELICIOUS!

This was good. I'll definitely use hot fudge topping next time instead of chocolate syrup. I think I'll double layer it and use chocolate ice cream for one of the layers; and try using oreos for the crust(s). I also used a cake decorator to decorate the top of the whole thing with whipped cream.

These were so fun to make and eat! I made four ice cream cakes for a summer BBQ and everyone seemed to enjoy them. What is so fun about this recipe is you can make it different every time depending on what kind of ice cream or toppings you are craving.

definitely better than any dairy queen cake! i like to do 2 layers of ice cream with a layer of the crunchy cookie/fudge in between. i also let the ice cream soften and smooth the layers because i can't get nice looking scoops on the top! a choc/p.b. bottom with a vanilla/choc chunk on top is excellent with reese shell topping drizzled over the top! also did a chocomint version with choc i.c. on bottom, choc. chip mint i.c. on top. use mint oreos for the 2 crust layers on this one!

This is a great recipe!! I used chewy chocolate chip cookies and cookie dough ice cream. Instead of putting whole cookies around the sides I just mashed up the whole package and melted it with 1/2 a cup of butter and built the crust up all the way up the sides of the pan. (I used a 9 inch pie pan). I tried to apply the fudge to the crust without heating it first and that didn't work so well, the fudge needs to be heated to spread it, but it still freezes on fine. Also instead of adding hot fudge before serving I put the fudge on while it was freezing and it tasted delicious. I was only able to freeze my cake for a few hours and I was worried applying hot fudge would melt the cake too quickly. This cake could be made so many different ways, I will make it again and again.

OMG sinfully delish! I used chocolate chip cookies with peanut butter chips,Butterfinger ice cream, hot fudge and caramel toppings. It only took one 1/2 gallon of ice cream to make and I poured the hot fudge and caramel over the crust, froze 15mins, put ice cream over that,froze 15mins, and poured more hot fudge and caramel over top and froze overnite.Before we ate it I put extra creamy cool whip on. This was for my bosses birthday and he shared it with our small class. Everyone LOVED it and it was moan out loud good! I will make over and over again and try different flavors.

I made this for my boyfriend's birthday because he requested ice cream cake for his party. I didn't want to buy a cake, so this one looked good. I used a 9x13 glass pan because we had a party for 15+ people. It turned out great. Like other reviewers, everybody thought it was AMAZING! People literally said "tastes way better then Dairy Queen". My only change was to substitute oreos and I left out the chocolate syrup. I also doubled the recipe as I was using a bigger pan, and I made sure to liberally spray the bottom with PAM. It was perfect. Nothing stuck to the bottom and even the frozen cookies tasted great. I will make again. 10 X easier and 10 X cheaper then any store-bought substitute.

I just made this today for my son's birthday and it is almost gone! I used crushed Oreos (25) on the bottom of the pan w/ the layer of hot fudge. After freezing that for 15 minutes, I used Peanut Butter Jumble (peanut butter ice cream w/ chunks of Reeses peanut butter cups). I then topped that with the hot fudge and the rest of the oreos crushed up. After I froze that for 30 minutes, I topped off w/ vanilla ice cream, the rest of the hot fudge, and caramel drizzle. I froze that overnight. Before serving, I decorated it with whipped cream and Reeses Pieces.

I made this for my daughter's 2nd birthday party. I used crushed oreos and cookies and cream ice cream for the bottom and vanilla for the top. I think next time I will do enough of the cookies and butter mixture to put a layer inbetween the ice cream layers. I also did the 2nd layer like the first by softening it. very good.. thanks for the recipe. Will definitely make again and try different varieties (ie. mint!)
