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.

Makes 2 desserts – 12 to 15 servings each.
