Ingredients

2 graham crackers
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup coffee
2 cups chocolate chips
16 ounces whipped cream
candy sprinkles

Steps:

To make a crust, take 2 graham crackers and crunch them together with the butter.
Distribute it evenly throughout a foil pan and bake for 5-10 minutes at 325 degrees.
While the crust is baking, mix the coffee and chocolate chips in the blender.
Take the whipped cream and mix it in with the coffee-chocolate chips mixture.
Pour this on top of the crust.
If you'd like you can put some more plain whipped cream on top.
Add sprinkles to make it look pretty.
~Optional~ Refridgerate or freeze for about an hour to make the cake taste a little more like ice cream and so that it will be not mushy.
