Notes

Recipe Tips:
  • If you can't find mint ice cream: mix softened vanilla ice cream with creme de menthe and green food coloring.
  • Freeze for at least 2 hours before serving, but it can be frozen for up to 5 days.
  • For easy clean slices, dip a sharp knife in hot water. Wipe and rewarm after each cut.
  • Sub for Mint Oreo cookies: Use 6 regular Oreo cookies and add ¼ cup chopped Andes mints.
Store. Whether making it ahead of time or storing leftovers, cover and keep it in the freezer for 3-5 days.
