  • Prep Time 15 minutes
  • Total Time 4 hours 30 minutes
  • Yield Serves 8

Ingredients

    • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (about 10 ounces)
    • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
    • 2 pints vanilla ice cream, softened (see note, above)

Directions

  1. Coarsely chop 6 cookies; set aside.
  2. Make crust: Process 10 cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add butter, and process until combined. Transfer to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Using the bottom of a measuring cup or glass, press crust firmly into pan. Top with a circle of 8 cookies.
  3. Dollop ice cream by the cup all over crust. Using a rubber spatula, gently spread. Sprinkle edge of ice cream with chopped cookies, forming a border. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours, or cover with plastic wrap and freeze, up to 1 week.
  4. To unmold, run a warm, damp cloth or sponge around outside edge of pan. Lift removable bottom with tart out of pan. Transfer to a serving plate, and cut into slices.

Cook's Note

Let ice cream stand at room temperature 30 minutes, or microwave it in 10-second increments until spreadable.
