CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Crush 20 of the cookies and mix the crumbs with the butter.
• Pat mixture on the bottom of an 8 inch springform pan and put in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Now make a fudge sauce by putting the cream, chocolate and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan and stirring constantly over low heat until the chocolate is melted.
• Add rum if desired.
• When the fudge sauce is cool, use about half of it to spread over the cookie crumb crust.
• At this point, you also take the remaining chocolate chip cookies and stand them up along the edge of the pan.
• Put the mixture back in the freezer for 15 minutes.
• Take the ice cream out to soften at this point and start making the strawberry sauce.
• Put the strawberries, two tablespoons of sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan and heat-- stirring occasionally-- until the strawberries form a thick sauce.
• When the ice cream is fairly soft, take the pan out of the freezer and start spreading the ice cream in the pan.
• You want to create a marbled effect by lightly mixing the two ice cream flavours together, but not so much that they become all one colour.
• Swirl in the strawberry sauce.
• Pour over the remaining fudge sauce and return to freezer until everything is firm, at least two hours.
• To serve, remove the edge of the pan and let soften for 10-15 minutes.
