Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup quick-cooking rolled oats

  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar

  • ½ cup butter

  • ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts

  • ½ cup butterscotch-flavored or caramel ice cream topping

  • ½ gallon butter-brickle, chocolate, or vanilla ice cream

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a medium bowl combine the flour, oats, and brown sugar. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in nuts. Pat mixture lightly into an ungreased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven. While still warm, stir nut mixture to crumble. Cool.

  2. Spread half of the crumbs in a 9 x 9 x 2-inch pan; drizzle about half of the ice cream topping over crumbs in pan. Place ice cream in a chilled medium bowl; stir to soften. Spoon softened ice cream carefully over topping-drizzled crumbs. Drizzle with remaining topping; sprinkle with the remaining crumbs. Cover and freeze at least 6 hours or until firm. Let stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
