Ice Cream Pizza
Ice Cream Pizza is a fun Dairy Queen copycat made with cookies, fudge, and M&M's - the perfect frozen treat for parties or summer nights!
Servings: 8 servings
Equipment
- 12 inch pizza pan
- rubber spatula or offset spatula
- small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl (for fudge)
Ingredients
- 24 chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1 jar hot fudge topping (12 ounces) divided
- 2 pints vanilla ice cream
- ⅓ cup M&M candies
Instructions
- Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor. Pulse until large crumbs form. Do not process into fine crumbs.
- Add ½ cup of the hot fudge topping and pulse just until combined. The mixture should still have small cookie pieces.
- Press the cookie mixture into a 12 inch circle on a pizza pan, about ¼ inch thick. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- While the crust sets, allow the ice cream to soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.
- Spread the softened ice cream evenly over the crust, about ½ inch thick, leaving a ½ inch border around the edge. Return the pan to the freezer and freeze for at least 2 hours or until firm.
- Heat the remaining fudge topping according to the package directions. Drizzle over the frozen ice cream layer.
- Sprinkle M&M candies over the top. Freeze for 1 additional hour or until firm.
- Slice into wedges and serve.
