Ice Cream Sundae Dessert

In honor of the June birthdays at work I decided to make an ice cream cake. My coworker gave me this recipe that she found in the Taste of Home Magazine. It seems like it would be a very versitile recipe by changing the cookies & ice cream flavors.

Ice Cream Sundae Dessert

2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

1 can (12 ounces) evaporated milk

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 package (12 ounces) vanilla wafers, crushed

1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted

2 quarts vanilla ice cream or flavor of your choice, softened

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt chocolate chips with milk and salt; cook and stir until thickened, about 25 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.

Combine wafer crumbs and butter; set aside 1 cup. Press remaining crumbs into a greased 13x9 pan. Chill for 10-15 minutes. Pour chocolate over crumbs. Cover and freeze for 20-25 minutes or until firm.

Spread the ice cream over the chocolate. Sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Freeze at least 2 hourse before serving. Yield 12-16 servings.
I used strawberry ice cream to make it a little different. Don't be surprised to see this in different variations on the blog later since it was very easy to make & very delicious!!
