So in order to get on the best side possible of my darling husband, so that I can get a new camera , I have been making some of his favorites.

The best way to a mans heart is thru his stomach…right

So here is one of his top desserts.

First up, the Oreo cookie crust.

Process 1 package of Oreo’s (reserve 2 cups of crumbs) and mix with melted butter and sugar. Press into the bottom of dish.

After about 10 min in the freezer it is time for the ice cream. This particular time I used plain old vanilla bean, but next time I am going to try a caramel.

Pop back in the freezer to firm up, about 2 hours. Meanwhile make the fudge layer. You are going to want to let this cool to room temp.

Remove ice cream from freezer and smother on chocolate sauce. Then sprinkle with peanuts.

Pop back in the freezer yet again for about 1 hour to 30 min. And top with deforested frozen whip topping (i.e. cool whip)

And sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.

Stick in freezer (and store in freezer).
