Hot Fudge Ice Cream Cake Slice 🍫🍦 – Creamy, Decadent & Irresistible

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the Crust 🍪

1. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
2. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish or similar-sized pan, ensuring the crust is even and compact.
3. Place the pan in the freezer to set while you prepare the ice cream layer.

2️⃣ Prepare the Ice Cream Layer 🍦

1. Let the vanilla ice cream soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes until it’s easy to scoop and spread.
2. Spoon the softened ice cream onto the crust and spread evenly with a spatula until smooth and level.
3. Return the dish to the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.

3️⃣ Add the Hot Fudge Topping 🍫

1. Once the ice cream layer is firm, heat the hot fudge sauce in the microwave or on the stovetop until warm and pourable (about 20-30 seconds in the microwave).
2. Pour the warm fudge sauce evenly over the ice cream layer, spreading it gently to cover the entire surface.
3. Return the cake to the freezer and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the fudge topping to set.

4️⃣ Serve 🍽️

• Remove the cake from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easier slicing.
• Cut into squares and serve with a drizzle of extra fudge sauce, whipped cream, or a cherry on top for the perfect finishing touch.
