Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/2 gallon of your favorite ice cream
1 pkg of oreo cookies, Biscoff cookies or substitute GF cookies (save 1-2 whole cookies for garnish), crushed
1 jar of either hot fudge or caramel sauce (Trader Joes brand or Mrs. Richardsons preferred)
2 Tablespoons melted butter
1 container of Cool whip or Tru whip (found in grocery freezer), thaw in fridge overnight before using

Directions:
Directions:
Line a loaf pan with wax paper or saran wrap short & long ways (2 sheets) so it can be easily lifted out once frozen.
Put your cookie choice in a food processor until crushed completely. Add melted butter and pulse until crumbs come together. Pour the crumbs into the loaf pan patting down with a large spoon until becomes and even layer.

Heat hot fudge or caramel jar in the microwave for approx. 40 seconds so it will pour. Then pour evenly over crumb mixture. Place in freezer for approximately 10 minutes to harden. Take out ice cream to thaw while fudge is hardening. After fudge hardens, spoon ice cream into loaf pan pressing down as you go to eliminate air pockets. Place saran wrap over the top and press down to again, eliminate any air pockets. Then put foil over saran wrap or place in large zip-lock so stays fresh.

Freeze overnight or until needed. When ready to serve, lift out by pulling the wax paper and invert on a wooden cutting board or serving plate. Place crust on bottom. Frost with cool whip and garnish with whole cookies or crush them over the top.

Personal Notes:
This is very versatile dessert & can be made ahead of time and kept in freezer for unexpected company. You can substitute crust by using crushed graham cracker crumbs, Oreo's or even gluten free cookies. For whipped topping, I prefer Tru whip as it has less preservatives with less after taste than cool whip. Available at Albertson's freezer section.

Favorite combinations are: Biscoff cookies with caramel & vanilla ice cream and Oreos with fudge & coffee ice cream. Feel free to experiment and chop snickers, nuts or reeses cups placing over fudge or caramel and save a few to garnish on top.
