Joen's Recipes Scrumptious Peppermint Freeze Ingredients 1 package Oreo cookies, crushed 1/3 cup butter, melted 1 cup dry peanuts, crushed ? gallon peppermint ice cream slightly, softened 1 16 oz. can Hershey Fudge Topping, slightly heated 1 large carton Cool Whip, slightly softened Directions Grease a 9" x 13" pan. Crush the Oreo cookies in a blender (or with a rolling pin). Set aside 1/3 cup cookie crumbs for a sprinkled topping. Mix the rest of the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter. Place this mixture in the greased pan. Pat the buttered crumbs evenly throughout the pan. Crush the peanuts and place them over the Oreo crumbs. Soften the peppermint ice cream, and then place it over the peanut-Oreo mixture. Heat the Hershey Fudge Topping slightly, and then pour it over the peppermint ice cream. Layer the slightly softened Cool Whip over the Fudge Topping. Sprinkle the top with the set-aside Oreo crumbs. Cover the dessert with a lid, foil, or Saran wrap. Place in freezer until firm. Note: This dessert can be made the day before serving. If made the same day, make certain you make it several hours prior to being served, so it will be firmly set. Notes With Thanksgiving so close to Christmas this year, I am not eager to serve pumpkin pie or other holiday pies for Christmas dinner. I am all-pied out! So, I plan to create a frozen peppermint ice cream dessert from one of my favorite holiday recipes. It is both easy to make and scrumptious. Perhaps you would like to serve this wonderful dessert to your family and friends during this holiday season. Go back to recipes
