📋 Ingredients (for a 20–22 cm / 8–9 inch springform pan)

For the crust:

• 200g (about 7 oz) crushed Digestive biscuits or Oreos
• 80g (about 6 tbsp) unsalted butter, melted

For the ice cream layers:

• 1L (4 cups) vanilla ice cream (or any flavor you like)
• 500ml (2 cups) chocolate ice cream (or a second contrasting flavor)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

For topping/decorating (optional but recommended):

• Whipped cream (homemade or spray)
• Chocolate chips, nuts, or cookie crumbs
• Fresh fruits like strawberries or raspberries
• Chocolate or caramel sauce

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

🧁 Step 1: Make the crust

1. Crush the cookies using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing with a rolling pin.
2. Mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter in a bowl until the texture is sandy but holds together when pressed.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan using the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass.
4. Freeze the crust for at least 20 minutes so it sets firmly.

🍦 Step 2: Soften the first ice cream flavor

1. Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes, until slightly softened (but not melted).
2. Stir the ice cream in a bowl to smooth it out.
3. Spread this layer evenly over the frozen crust using a spatula.
4. Freeze the cake again for at least 30–45 minutes, until the layer is firm.

🍫 Step 3: Add the second ice cream layer

1. Repeat the same process with the chocolate ice cream (or any second flavor you chose).
2. Let it soften slightly, stir until smooth, and then spread it evenly on top of the first frozen layer.
3. Smooth the top and return the cake to the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm.

🎨 Step 4: Decorate!

1. Once fully frozen, remove the cake from the springform pan. (Tip: run a knife around the edges if it sticks.)
2. Decorate with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, fruits, or any toppings you like.
3. You can drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce just before serving for extra flair!

❄️ Storage & Serving Tips

• To store: Keep the cake in the freezer, tightly wrapped or in an airtight container. It keeps well for up to 1 week.
