Ingredients

1 pacakge Oreos, crushed
½ cup butter, melted
1 gallon peppermint ice cream, slightly softened
16 ounces whipped topping, thawed
hot fudge ice cream topping
crushed candy canes

Instructions

Combine Oreo crumbs and butter in a large bowl and mix well. Press into an ungreased 9x13.
Spread ice cream over crust; top with whipped topping. Cover and freeze for at least 4-6 hours.
Drizzle with hot fudge and crushed candy canes right before serving. ENJOY!

Notes

Recipe Tips.

Let the peppermint ice cream soften just enough to spread, but do not let it melt.
Press the Oreo crust firmly into the pan so it holds together when sliced.
Freeze the dessert for at least 4 to 6 hours so the layers set completely.
Add hot fudge and crushed candy canes right before serving for the best texture.
Make-ahead tip: assemble the dessert a day or two ahead, cover tightly, and keep frozen until ready to serve.

Store. Keep covered in the freezer for up to 1 week for the best texture. Let sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing if it is very firm. Add hot fudge and candy canes right before serving so the candy stays crunchy.
