- Bring to a boil and cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly.

- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the ice cream layer.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using mint-flavored Oreos or swap the vanilla ice cream for chocolate for a richer dessert. You can also make the chocolate topping ahead of time and store it in the fridge to save time. Make sure to let the chocolate cool before pouring it over the ice cream to prevent melting.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dessert in individual bowls topped with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for added indulgence. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of your favorite ice cream on the side, and is perfect for gatherings or as a sweet finish to a meal featuring dishes like Carol'S Favorite Spiced Pork Chops.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. To reheat, let the dessert sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. This will make it easier to cut through the layers without melting the ice cream too much.
