Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos, crushed with filling)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the layers:
- 1 quart strawberry ice cream, slightly softened
- 1 quart chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
- 1 cup chocolate fudge sauce, warmed slightly
- 1 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings
For topping:
- 1 ½ cups whipped cream or whipped topping
- Extra strawberries and chocolate drizzle for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, mix the crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form the crust. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
- Add strawberry layer: Spread the softened strawberry ice cream evenly over the crust. Top with a layer of sliced strawberries, pressing them gently into the ice cream. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Add chocolate layer: Spread the chocolate ice cream on top of the strawberry layer. Drizzle with warm fudge sauce and sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until firm.
- Finish and serve: Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top of the cake and decorate with more sliced strawberries and an extra drizzle of chocolate sauce. Release from the pan, slice, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Soften ice cream just enough to spread easily but not melt.
- For easier slicing, run your knife under hot water before each cut.
- You can customize the flavors with other fruits or ice cream varieties.
