Chocolate Cookie Ice Cream Slice

I tried this recipe for the first time a few weeks ago and have added it to my arsenal of summertime desserts!  It's so super yummy and easy, hopefully you'll have time to try it before the cool weather comes... whenever that's supposed to be.

Ingredients

5 cups of chocolate ice cream, slightly softened

14 or so Chips Ahoy! cookies crushed

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 1/2 Cool Whip

1 square of semi-sweet chocolate

Directions

Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with foil leaving the ends of the foil long enough to drape over the sides of the pan.  Spread the ice cream into the pan.  

Take 14 or so of the cookies and crush them up.  Mix the crumbs with the butter.  Take the cookie mixture and spread it on top of the ice cream.  Gently press the crumbs into the ice cream as you spread.  Cover the pan with the foil that is draped over the sides of the pan.  Put this into the freezer for 6 hours or until frozen.

An hour or so before you are ready to serve, uncover the bottom of the dessert and place onto a tray.  Using the foil, remove the pan and foil from the ice cream cookie block.  Frost the dessert with the Cool Whip.  Grate the chocolate square and sprinkle on top of the Cool Whip for a finished look.  Return to freezer until ready to serve!
