Tips for Mint Chip Ice Cream Cake

Let the ice cream sit out at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes so that it is soft and easy to scoop out. I like to use the quart size containers for this because you can cut out slices easier with a knife but the pint-size containers will work as well.

Use store-bought cookie crust to save time on making the crust.

You can microwave the hot fudge sauce right in the jar in the microwave so that it is easier to scoop out onto the top of the ice cream.

If you don’t like mint chip ice cream just use your favorite flavor of ice cream. I mean, the sky is the limit to this. It is a very versatile recipe.
