Triple Mint Ice Cream Dessert
Ingredients
  • 1/3
    cup butter, melted
  • 1/4
    cup sugar
  • 1 1/2
    cups finely crushed chocolate wafer cookies (about 25)
  • 1
    quart mint chocolate chip ice cream
  • 1
    cup coarsely crushed peppermint sticks or candy canes (about 5 ounces)
  • 1
    cup chopped layered chocolate-mint candies (about 28)
Directions

1. In a medium bowl combine melted butter and sugar. Stir in crushed chocolate wafers; toss to mix well. Press mixture evenly on the bottom and 1 inch up the sides of a 8-inch springform pan. Or press evenly onto bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Chill for 1 hour.

2. In a large chilled bowl, soften ice cream by using a wooden spoon to stir and press ice cream against the side of the bowl. Stir until soft but not melted. Stir in 1/2 cup of the peppermint sticks and 1/2 cup of the chocolate mint candies. Quickly spoon softened ice cream into the pan or pie plate. Cover and freeze for 1 hour or more.

3. Sprinkle top with remaining peppermint sticks and mint candies. Cover and freeze for several hours or overnight until firm.

4. To serve, remove dessert from freezer. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving. Makes 10 servings.

this is so delicious.. I made it twice. The second time I couldn't find candy canes so I broke up the individually wrapped peppermints. I also didn't measure exactly the amount of ice cream and probably used more than a quart.

I made this for an office birthday and got rave reviews. My co-workers told me they liked it better than Baskin Robbin/Cold Stone. The birthday boy had 2 helpings! I did make a few modifications. Instead of using the pepperment candies I used the red and white Andes baking chips. I also spread some hot fudge over the crust and let it harden before spreading the ice cream to kind of keep the crust together. Also I put a 8 oz container of cool whip on top of the ice cream.
