The method
Step by step
- 1
Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature to soften for about 15 minutes.
About 15 min
Cook’s note: The ice cream should be easy to stir but not fully melted.
- 2
While the ice cream softens, line a 9x5 inch (23x13 cm) loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving plenty of overhang on the sides to use as handles later.
About 3 min
- 3
If your cookies are not already crushed, place them in a large sealable bag and use a rolling pin to break them into coarse pieces.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: A mix of fine crumbs and small chunks will give the dessert the best texture.
- 4
Scoop the softened ice cream into a large mixing bowl.
About 2 min
- 5
Add the thawed whipped topping and the crushed cookies to the bowl with the ice cream.
About 1 min
- 6
Use a spatula to gently fold all the ingredients together until just combined into a streaky mixture.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Be careful not to overmix, as this will make the dessert dense.
- 7
Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer.
About 2 min
- 8
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
About 4 hr
Cook’s note: Freezing overnight is ideal for a very firm, sliceable dessert.
