Ingredients

  • 8 1/2 ounces chocolate wafers, crushed
  • 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
  • 1 quart chocolate ice cream, softened
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
  • creme de menthe (to flavor)
  • green food coloring
  • Garnish
  • crushed chocolate wafer (optional)
  • crushed chocolate cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (optional)
  • crushed mint chocolate chips, pieces (optional)

Method

  • Mix the ground wafers with the melted butter. Pat into the bottom of a 9x11 pan.
  • Spread the chocolate ice cream over the crust and freeze until firm.
  • Blend the vanilla ice cream with the desired amount of Creme de Mint and enough green food coloring to bring the mixture to desired flavor and color.
  • Spread on top of chocolate ice cream. You can sprinkle a few more chocolate wafers, crushed Oreo cookies, or even some mint chocolate chips that have been crushed over the top. Return to freezer and freeze until firm. Serve.
  • Passive work time is the approximate time this needs to freeze between layers.
