Frozen Ice Cream Delight

A favorite with the Cannon family. It's a delicious ice cream dessert that is a great make ahead dish. It's very easy but it takes awhile to assemble.

2 ½ cups Oreo cookie crumbs, divided
½ cup butter or margarine, melted
½ cup sugar
½ gallon chocolate, coffee or vanilla ice cream, softened
1 ½ cups salted peanuts (I don’t use this)
1 carton (8oz) Cool Whip

Chocolate Sauce
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 can (12oz) evaporated milk
½ cup butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla extract


Directions:
Combine 2 cups cookie crumbs with butter and sugar. Press into the bottom of a 9x13x2 inch pan. Freeze for 15 minutes. Spread ice cream over crumbs; freeze until firm, about 3 hours. Meanwhile, combine first four sauce ingredients in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Boil for 8 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla; allow to cool to room temperature. Spoon sauce over the ice cream; sprinkle with nuts. Freeze until firm. Spread whipped topping over nuts and sprinkle with remaining cookie crumbs. Freeze at least 3 hours before serving. Can be stored in freezer for up to a week.
