Method
 

How to Make Pink Peppermint Christmas Ice Cream Cake
  1. Start by lining a 9×13 inch dish with plastic wrap, making it easier to lift out the cake for serving later.
  2. Let the peppermint ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes, until it’s soft but not fully melted.
  3. Using a food processor or a zip-top bag and a rolling pin, crush the chocolate sandwich cookies coarsely.
  4. Spread the crushed cookies evenly across the bottom of the prepared dish. Press gently to form a firm base.
  5. Spoon the softened peppermint ice cream over the cookie crust, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Place the ice cream sandwiches on top of the peppermint layer, ensuring they cover the surface completely.
  7. Top the ice cream sandwiches with another layer of softened peppermint ice cream and smooth it out.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk or dark chocolate and coconut oil. Melt together in 30-second increments, stirring until smooth.
  9. Remove the cake from the freezer, drizzle the melted chocolate generously over the top, and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
  10. Take your time cutting into this beauty for perfectly layered slices and serve.
