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 each individual Kit Kat candy bar upright all around the side of the pan. Try to get the Kit Kats 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 first flavor of softened ice cream in its container and press evenly over the Oreo crust. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Stir the second flavor of softened ice cream in its container and press evenly over the first ice cream layer. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Notes

Ice cream: Choose 2 quarts of any 2 ice cream flavors. Keep it simple with chocolate and vanilla, or go wild with rocky road, mint chocolate chip or strawberry ice cream.

Frozen whipped topping: The top of the cake is finished with Cool Whip. You could use homemade whipped cream, but the point of this cake is to keep things easy on you. Not a fan of whipped cream? Add a third layer of ice cream.

Candies: You can go crazy here or keep it simple. Wish M&Ms you can use regular, minis, peanuts or any other variety. You can also use Hershey Kisses, chocolate malt balls, Rolos or even chocolate chips.

Oreos: The crust of the cake is made with smashed Oreos and the top is garnished with some more Oreos. I used original Oreos, but you can use any flavor you want.

Leftovers: 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.
