The name sums it up! This is a family favorite. I enjoyed it growing up and my family has always loved this recipe. It’s also very convenient because it is prepared ahead of time.
Combine crumbs and melted butter. Reserve some of the crumb mixture for the topping and place the rest in a 9×13 pan, cover and freeze.
Combine filling ingredients and spread over frozen crust. Freeze until hard.
After filling layer is frozen set ice cream out and let soften 30 minutes so it can be spread over the chocolate layer. Top with remaining crumbs or sprinkles or the topping of your choice. For birthdays sometimes we used frosting to decorate also.

Notes
It is much easier to spread the ice cream if the chocolate layer is completely frozen and the ice cream softened. This is not a time to speed up the process.
The original recipe I had included nuts and coconut but I prefer it without.
Using sprinkles or frosting to decorate or any topping you like makes this a very versatile, delicious dessert.
