Line a 7 inch / 18 cm spring form pan with a circle of parchment paper.
Crust:
Crush the cookies with a food processor into fine crumbs. Alternatively place them in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to break them. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl.
Add melted butter to the cookie crumbs and mix very well until combined. Press the mixture to the bottom of the prepared pan. Leave the pan in the fridge.
Filling:
In a large mixing bowl whip the cream with an electric mixer until thickened.
In another bowl beat together the condensed milk and cream cheese until smooth.
Using a rubber spatula combine the two mixtures, folding gently until incorporated.
Break the cookies into irregular pieces using a kitchen grinder.
Divide the mixture in two parts. Pour one part into the crust in the pan. Fold the cookies into the other half, using a rubber spatula. Pour into the pan and smooth out the top with the spatula.
Freeze the ice cream cake for 8 hours or overnight, until stiff.
Decorate before serving. You can use cookies, chocolate or pipe some whipped cream or frosting by choice.
Notes
Make sure the cream is at least 30% fat and has been refrigerated for 6-8 hours before whipping it.
Dividing the ice cream mixture in two parts is an optional step, in order to make a layered cake. You can add the broken cookies into the whole mixture.
Before serving leave the cake at room temperature for 10-15 minutes. Cut with a large wet knife.
Store the cake in the freezer for 1-2 months.
The frosting used in the photos is from the Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting
