Scottish Mint Delight - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 1/2 ounces chocolate wafers, crushed
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, melted
1 quart chocolate ice cream, softened
1 quart vanilla ice cream, softened
creme de menthe (to flavor)
green food coloring
Garnish
crushed chocolate wafer (optional)
crushed chocolate cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies (optional)
crushed mint chocolate chips, pieces (optional)

Preparation

Mix the ground wafers with the melted butter. Pat into the bottom of a 9x11 pan.
Spread the chocolate ice cream over the crust and freeze until firm.
Blend the vanilla ice cream with the desired amount of Creme de Mint and enough green food coloring to bring the mixture to desired flavor and color.
Spread on top of chocolate ice cream. You can sprinkle a few more chocolate wafers, crushed Oreo cookies, or even some mint chocolate chips that have been crushed over the top. Return to freezer and freeze until firm. Serve.
Passive work time is the approximate time this needs to freeze between layers.
