Yum, this was such a good recipe. I used an 8x8 pan didn't want a lot of leftovers.

I made this for my mother's birthday. I used peanut butter cookies and dark chocolate topping since her favorite candy is the peanut butter cup. I added a layer of topping and crushed cookies between the ice cream layers and omited the ring of cookies around the pan. It turned out fantastic!

This is a great, basic recipe that you can alter to make it your own. For my sister's birthday, I made it with an Oreo theme: I chopped up Oreo cookies for the crust, put a layer of fudge, and then topped it with cookies n' cream ice cream. I broke up some cookies to put on top. It was a great success! Thanks for sharing the recipe; I'm already thinking of other additions I can make for the next one!

i didn't think that this would be anything more than just ice cream and cookies (which is good enough for me) but we couldn't stop eating it. i did end up using only 1 pint of ice cream for each layer (dulce de leche and slow-churned vanilla) because it wouldn't have fit otherwise and i left the top smooth since i don't have the patience or manual dexterity to make the little scoops on top (which look really cute in the picture). apart from that, i used the full amount of cookie crust, fudge topping (smuckers!), and topped it with skor bits and more fudge sauce...really good. oh and to make it more cakey, i placed a number of two bite brownies on the fudge topping layer and covered them with the second layer of ice cream so they wouldn't show...turned out really well - i think you can add anything to this cake and mess with it and it will not taste bad! oh, but one warning: wait until each layer is well frozen before moving on to the next no matter how long it takes...we were impatient and the bottom layer started to melt and drip onto the cookies lining the sides.

My son, who loves Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake, said that this was better! Used Oreo cookies, vanilla ice cream for the bottom layer and cookies & cream ice cream for the top layer. The Oreos were rather 'big' around the edge, but it worked out OK and tasted great. Lots of possibilities by varying the ice cream and cookie types.

this was amazing! i never thought I could make my own ice cream cake because I'm not very good at baking/cooking but this was better than I've ever had and it was easy to make.

Great recipe! I made this last year for a birthday celebration and I am ordered to make it now for every birthday after! Couldn't of been easier. There are so many variations also with different cookies toppings etc. You cant go wrong with this. Only suggestion is to make sure you thaw it a little before serving bc it is insanely difficult to cut. ENJOY :)

This got rave reviews at my house last night. The only substitution: I used a caramel-vanilla ice cream instead of plain vanilla. I will definitely make this again, and I'm happy to report there was ONE slice leftover for tonight!

With all the yummy stuff that goes into making this cake, how could it not be good? My only recommendation is to buy good ice cream. I bought a cheaper kind and wasn't as impressed with it as i think i would have been with a really yummy ice cream. I think next time I will use coffee ice cream.

Great recipe- my family loved it. It's very rich, esp. since we used chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream instead of plain vanilla. Yum!

I made this for my birthday cake. I used Breyer's vanilla bean and very chocolate cherry ice cream with an oreo cookie crust. Delicious!! I didn't put the cookies around the outside edge and probably should have - the sides were a bit melty. The fudge layer over the crust makes this EXTRA RICH, but it's very good and flexible.

This dessert was awesome!! I substituted Oreos (about 30) for the crust, and then the ice creams of my choice. HaagenDaaz chocolate on bottom, chocolate sauce, and then Caramel de Leche on top!!!!! I served this to my inlaws and my husband had 4 pieces on one day! When placing your cookies around the side, make sure to follow directions and place BEFORE freezing the bottom layer. I misread the directions the first time and couldn't get them to stand up! Also, a good tip-- place them with a small space between each cookie so you'll be all set when you go to cut them into slices. Delicious, and I can't wait to experiment with different flavors!

Delicious! I had fun going crazy with this recipe for my sister-in-law's birthday. In a 9 X 13 casserole dish I covered the bottom and sides with whole chocolate chip cookies (the chunky Chips Ahoy Ones). Then I put on my first layer of ice cream - Chocolate fudge brownie. I used the slow churned because it spread easier. I froze it for 30 min. then spread chocolate topping all over it. Froze for 15 min. then added layer of vanilla ice cream. Froze 30 min. Added tub of Cool Whip and sprinkled with mini chocolate chips and wrote "Happy Birthday" with chocolate syrup. Froze overnight before the party. My chocolate syrup writing didn't exactly stay where it was supposed to, but the cake TASTED absolutely delicious! I had made it larger so their would be enough for the 14 people that were there. Well, there was only one small piece left! Everyone loved it and few people had seconds. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE RECIPE!
