Just in time for summer, this favorite treat is quick, easy to make, and a crowd pleaser. My daughter has asked for this dessert to be her birthday cake for the past two years in a row. Don’t worry, no actual grasshoppers were harmed in the production of this recipe!
1 package Oreos
1 stick of butter, melted (use less if you want)
1 half gallon size mint chocolate chip ice cream, softened
1 package whipped topping, Cool Whip
Crush all but 10 of the Oreos in a ziplock bag using a rolling pin. Empty into a bowl and mix with the melted butter. Spread into the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish and press down to form a chocolatey crust. Stir ice cream in a bowl until it is creamy and no longer lumpy. Then scrape ice cream into the 9X13 and smooth. Freeze for 2 – 3 hours then add the whipped topping layer. Refreeze again for at least 3 to 4 hours or overnight. You may also want to garnish each slice with some sort of gummy candy or a Junior Mint or even some Oreo cookies. You can also sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings as well.
