• Place Oreos in a food processor fitted with the metal blade pulse into fine crumbs.
• Add melted butter and granulated sugar then pulse 3-4 times.
• Press into a 15x10x1-inch baking pan or cupcake liners in muffin tins
• Set the pan in the freezer to chill 10-15 minutes.
• Cut the ice cream into ½ inch thick slices.
• Lay the ice cream over the Oreo layer and, carefully, spread evenly.
• Cover and return the pan to freezer to harden - 30-40 minutes.
• While the dessert is hardening in the freezer make the chocolate sauce.
• In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate and ⅓ cup butter.
• Add milk and powdered sugar.
• Cook on medium-low heat, stirring often, for 20-25 minutes or until thickened slightly.
• Stir in vanilla extract and mix well.
• Take off the heat and let sauce cool completely.
• After the chocolate has cooled, pour the chocolate sauce over the ice cream and return the dessert to the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm.
• Spread dessert with thawed whipped topping.
• The dessert can be served immediately or return it to freezer until topping is frozen.
• Once the topping is frozen, serve immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil until ready to serve.
• Will keep well in the freezer up to 4 weeks.
