Are you looking to serve up something cool and green this St. Patrick’s Day?  This recipe combines delicious Mint Chip ice cream with a cookie crumb crust for a dessert that strikes gold.

This is a great plan-ahead dessert because it can be frozen up to 2 months.

Ingredients

• 2 packages (14 ounces each) cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 2 ounces unsweetened chocolate
• 1 gallon mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
• 1 carton (16 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
• Shaved chocolate

Directions

• In a large bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and butter. Press into two 13-in. x 9-in. dishes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• In a small saucepan, combine milk, sugar, butter and chocolate. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly, about 12 minutes. Remove from the heat then cool completely.
• Spread ice cream over each crust. Spoon cooled chocolate sauce over top; evenly spread to cover. Freeze until firm. Spread with whipped topping. Remove from freezer 10 minutes before cutting. Garnish with shaved chocolate.
