Oreo Freakout

My friend Jeanne from Columbus used to make this for potlucks.  Ahh - chocolate memories!  It is easy to make and so good.  It is an ice cream cake, so keep that in mind - you can't leave it sitting out for long.  But, it won't last long on the table. Soooooooo good!

one package Oreo cookies
one stick butter, melted
1/2 gallon ice cream (vanilla, mint chocolate chip, moose tracks.....whatever!)
one jar hot fudge ice cream topping
one small Cool Whip container

Crush the cookies and mix with butter. Reserve 4-5 Tablespoons. Spread in a 9x13 pan and pat down well.  Slice ice cream (or let it soften and spread it around) and place over the top of the Oreo crust.  Pour hot fudge sauce on top.  Spread Cool Whip on that and top with reserved Oreo crumbs. Cover with foil and freeze until hard - at least a few hours.  Keeps for a week in freezer (ha - it won't last that long)
