• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream:

• 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
• 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Step-by-Step Complete Guide:

Step 1: Making the Chocolate Cookie Crust:

Let's start by creating the delectable chocolate cookie crust for our ice cream cake.

• Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush them until fine crumbs form.
• Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter in a bowl until well combined.
• Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust.
• Refrigerate the pan while you prepare the ice cream layer.

Step 2: Preparing the Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream:

Now, let's focus on the star of our show-the mint chocolate chip ice cream!

• Whip the chilled heavy cream in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold in the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract until well combined.
• Add the mini chocolate chips and stir to distribute them evenly throughout the ice cream mixture.

Step 3: Assembling the Ice Cream Cake:

The time has come to bring all our hard work together and assemble the irresistible ice cream cake.

• Take the springform pan from the refrigerator and pour the prepared mint chocolate chip ice cream over the cookie crust.
• Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.

Step 4: Freezing the Ice Cream Cake:

Now, it's time to exercise a little patience as we let our ice cream cake chill and set.

• Cover the pan with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to protect the ice cream from absorbing any odors from the freezer.
• The ice cream cake should be placed in the freezer and left there until hard, at least 6 hours or overnight.

Tips for Beginners:

• Make sure the heavy cream is well chilled before whipping to achieve the best results.
• When folding the sweetened condensed milk and peppermint extract into the whipped cream, be gentle to keep the mixture fluffy and airy.
• You can change the amount of peppermint extract if you like a stronger mint flavor.

Precautions:

Recipe Precautions:

• If you or your guests have nut allergies, check the chocolate sandwich cookie package for any nut ingredients or traces of nuts.
• Ensure that the springform pan is properly sealed to avoid any leakage during freezing.

Self Precautions:

• When using a food processor or handling sharp tools like a knife or the metal blade of the processor, take care to avoid any accidental cuts or injuries.
• If you're sensitive to cold foods, be mindful of consuming the ice cream cake too quickly, as it may cause discomfort.
