Yummy.......

I am not a huge ice cream cake lover. I like the glitz and glamour of a piece of real cake, with frosting. An Ice-Cream Cookie Dessert is a different story.

I made this the other night. A little messy to put together, but oh so worth it.

Ice-Cream Cookie Dessert:

2 Dozen chocolate chip cookies, crushed

Walnut Mix:

1 cup chopped walnuts

1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted

1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

Chocolate Sauce:

1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk

1 cup chocolate chips

1 cup powdered sugar

1 bar (2 oz) unsweetened chocolate baking bars broken into pieces

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Half gallon vanilla ice cream, softened

For Walnut Mix:

Preheat oven to 375. Grease 8-inch-square baking pan.

Combine butter, nuts, and brown sugar, and bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool Completely.

For Chocolate Sauce:

Combine evaporated milk, chocolate chips, powdered sugar, baking bar and butter in a medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted. Reduce heat to low: continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat, stir in vanilla and cool completely.

To assemble:

Wrap outside of a 9 or 10 inch springfoam pan with foil. Spread 1/3 chopped cookies on bottom. Top with half of ice cream and half of the chocolate sauce. Combine remaining nuts with remaining cookies. Spread half of the cookie-walnut mixture over chocolate sauce. Top with remaining ice cream, chocolate sauce (reserving 2 tablespoons) and cookie-walnut mixture. Drizzle remaining chocolate sauce over the top.

Freeze at least four hours before serving.
