A no-bake dessert with layers of crunchy chocolate sandwich cookies, creamy vanilla ice cream, and a rich chocolate-peanut topping. Perfect for summer gatherings or a sweet family treat.

Ingredients

1 (20 ounce) package chocolate sandwich cookies

½ cup butter, melted

1 ½ cups chopped Spanish peanuts

½ gallon vanilla ice cream, softened

2 cups confectioners’ sugar

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

⅔ cup semisweet chocolate chips

½ cup butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush all but 10 of the chocolate sandwich cookies. Combine the crushed cookies with the melted butter and chopped peanuts in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
  2. Press the Crust: Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Freeze the crust until cold, about 30 minutes.
  3. Add the Ice Cream Layer: Once the crust is cold, spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the crust. Freeze again until the ice cream layer is firm, about 1-2 hours.
  4. Make the Chocolate-Peanut Topping: In a large saucepan, combine the confectioners’ sugar, evaporated milk, chocolate chips, ½ cup butter, and vanilla extract. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 7 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool completely.
  5. Assemble the Dessert: Once the chocolate mixture has cooled, pour it over the set ice cream layer. Freeze the entire dessert until the topping is firm, about 1-2 hours.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Once fully set, cut into squares and serve.
