We were behind on some traditional cookie baking when my son sent me this one. We decided it looked quick and easy so we'd give it a try for Christmas Eve.
It was definitely a hit with all the visitors and will be added to our favs for next year! Nothing beats a good icebox pie!
A word of advice, I buy most of my items from Aldi making this one a real frugal treat.
3/4 cup butter, divided
1 package (16 ounces) chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, crushed
2 quarts mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
1-1/2 cups milk chocolate chips
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup evaporated milk
1 carton (16 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
Chocolate syrup and red and green sprinkles, optional
In a microwave, melt 1/2 cup butter. Stir in cookie crumbs. Press into a 13-in. x 9-in. dish. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm. Spread ice cream over crust; return to the freezer until firm.
In a large saucepan, combine chocolate chips, confectioners' sugar, milk and remaining butter. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook and stir for 3-5 minutes or until thickened. Cool to room temperature. When cool, spread over ice cream; return to freezer until firm.
Spread whipped topping over ice cream (dish will be full). Cover and freeze for until firm or overnight.
Remove from the freezer 15-20 minutes before serving. If desired, drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with sprinkles.
