How to Make Ice Cream Cake (No-Bake!)

Step 1: Crush & Create the Crust

Crush cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with melted butter. Press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan. Freeze for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Layer the Ice Cream

Spread softened ice cream evenly over the crust. Drizzle half the hot fudge sauce on top. Freeze for 2 hours.

Step 3: Repeat & Decorate

Add another ice cream layer (try chocolate or strawberry for fun!). Top with whipped cream, remaining fudge sauce, and sprinkles. Freeze for 4+ hours.

Step 4: Slice & Serve

Run a knife under hot water for clean slices. Serve immediately and watch it vanish faster than ice cream in the sun!
