Easy No Bake Ice Cream Cake for 12

Instructions:

1. Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to ensure a clean release.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the cookie crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
3. Pour the crumb mixture into the pan and use the bottom of a glass to press it into a tight, even layer. Freeze for 10 minutes.
4. Stir the sweetened condensed milk into the slightly softened vanilla ice cream until just combined. Spread half of this mixture over the chilled crust using an offset spatula.
5. Sprinkle half of the mini chocolate chips evenly across the vanilla layer.
6. Spread the softened chocolate ice cream over the chips, smoothing the top to create a flat surface.
7. Cover the pan tightly with foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the cake is rock-solid.
8. Beat the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form.
9. Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan. Spread the whipped cream over the top and sides of the frozen cake.
10. Immediately top with sprinkles and return to the freezer for 30 minutes before serving.
