Mint ice cream and colorful sprinkles make this cool concoction perfect for holiday parties or meals. For a chocolaty dessert, use rocky road or chocolate ice cream instead. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, divided |
1 package (16 ounces) chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, crushed |
8 cups 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 |
Directions:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Spread whipped topping over ice cream (dish will be full). Cover and freeze for until firm or overnight.
4. Remove from the freezer 15-20 minutes before serving. If desired, drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with sprinkles. Yield: 24 servings.
