Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment or wax paper, ensuring the paper overhangs the sides for easy removal.
Crush the Cookies: Place the Oreo cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them into large pieces. Reserve some crushed cookies for topping.
First Layer: Spread half of the softened peppermint ice cream evenly over the crushed cookies in the pan. Place the pan in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Add Ice Cream Sandwiches: Unwrap the ice cream sandwiches and arrange them in a single layer over the firm peppermint ice cream. You may need to cut some sandwiches to fit the pan.
Second Layer: Spread the remaining softened peppermint ice cream over the layer of ice cream sandwiches.
Freeze: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze the cake for at least 3-4 hours, or until fully set.
Add Toppings: Before serving, spread the whipped topping over the cake. Drizzle with hot fudge and sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreo cookies and crushed candy canes on top.
Serve: Use the overhanging parchment or wax paper to lift the cake from the pan. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure the ice cream is softened but not melted for easy spreading.
For a more chocolaty flavor, drizzle layers with extra hot fudge sauce.
You can substitute peppermint ice cream with vanilla or chocolate if desired.
