Instructions

Remove ice cream from the freezer and leave on the counter to soften.
In a food processor combine milk and 24 Oreo cookies.
Coat a 9-inch spring form pan with nonstick spray and place orange and white Kit Kats upright all around the side of the pan. Arrange them in any pattern you like. Above pictured shows 2 orange then 1 white.
Try to get the Kit Kat bars as close to possible as you can, with the Kit Kat name facing out, against the side of the spring form pan.
Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper and press the Oreo mixture evenly over it. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Stir the softened ice cream in its container then spread evenly over the Oreo crust. If using two types of ice cream, spread the first flavor in, freeze for 10 minutes, then spread the second softened ice cream layer over it.
Place in the freezer for 10 minutes
Remove whipped topping from the freezer and allow to thaw for 30 minutes.
Spread whipped topping over the top layer of ice cream and garnish with remaining cookies plus assorted chocolate and halloween candies.
Return cake to the freezer and allow to set overnight.
Remove cake from freezer 10 minutes prior to serving.
Gently open the spring form pan and remove. Use a thin knife or spatula to slide cake onto serving platter. Slice and serve immediately!

Notes

Candies: I picked out the blue M&Ms to keep everything in fall colors: red, orange, yellow, brown and a little green. I also added Whoppers and mixed bag of candy corns and pumpkins.

Ice Cream: You can use any kind of ice cream for this cake. I used mint chocolate chip. Other fun colors and flavors are cherry ice cream or orange cream. You can also add food coloring to vanilla ice cream.

Oreos: With all of the different flavors and colors of Oreos out there, especially during Halloween, you could switch out the classic Oreo with some of the other fun versions.

Yield: This makes one 9-inch ice cream cake.

TO STORE: If you do end up with leftover ice cream cake, you can easily keep it in the freezer. Simply wrap what was left in plastic wrap or foil and it will keep for up to one month.
