Line 9x13 dish with plastic wrap overlapping on all sides.
Combine crushed cookies (I use a food processor) and melted butter. Press into bottom of prepared dish. Chill 1 hour in freezer.
Fudge Sauce:
Over medium heat, mix together powdered sugar, evaporated milk, chocolate chips and ½ cup butter. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil 8 minutes. It may seem like it will not come together, but with constant stirring, it works perfectly.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Cool completely.
Assembly:
Remove ice cream from box and slice into ¾ inch slices. Add on top of crust and fill in gaps and smooth ice cream with a spatula. Sprinkle peanuts over ice cream and top with fudge sauce (make sure it is cool).
Cover and freeze 8 hours or overnight. Allow to sit out for about 10 minutes and lift ice cream cake using plastic wrap and place on a cutting board for easiest cutting. Slice and serve!
Notes
Use whole sandwich cookies, not chocolate wafersIf using a box of ice cream, it is easiest to cut open the box to slice the ice cream or turn the ice cream out onto a cutting boardCan substitute other roasted peanuts in place of dry roasted peanuts
