Ingredients
1/2 16-ounce frozen pound cake, thawed
3–4 cups mint cookies and cream ice cream, softened slightly
1 14.3-ounce package of chocolate sandwich cookies, divided
2 cups frozen whipped topping, thawed
How to Make It
1. Step
Line a 7-inch cake pan with plastic wrap.
2. Step
Trim the ends off of the pound cake, then slice crosswise into 8 1-inch-thick slices.
3. Step
Arrange the pound cake slices tightly in the bottom of the prepared pan. Scoop the ice cream on top and spread in an even layer.
4. Step
Add 30 of the chocolate sandwich cookies to a plastic bag. Seal the bag and crush with a rolling pin until the cookies are broken down to coarse crumbs.
5. Step
Sprinkle about 1 cup of the crushed cookies over the ice cream layer, then spread ¾ cup of the whipped topping over the cookies.
6. Step
Freeze the cake for about 3 hours, until solid.
7. Step
Remove the pan from the freezer and use the plastic wrap to lift the cake from the pan. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the top and sides of the cake to cover completely. Use your hands to press the remaining crushed cookies around the sides of the cake, then decorate the top of the cake with the remaining whole cookies. Freeze for a few more hours if needed if the cake begins to soften.
8. Step
When ready to serve, cut into 6–8 pieces and serve immediately.
