Oreo Mint Dessert

I just want to tell my darling daughter-in-law...Happy Birthday!  I am so grateful for her!  She is beautiful on the inside as well as on the outside.  She is thoughtful, kind and generous of heart.  She takes such good care of all of us.  She has saved me over and over again on things like adding pictures to the blog, helping write Aaron's research paper at 1 am when it got lost on the computer, working for Jeff so I don't have to and a million other things!  Most of all I love how she is my son Austin's best friend.  How lucky can a mother get???

I thought I would send her a birthday wish and recipe. I think this recipe is in her top five faves!

Mint Ice Cream and Oreo Dessert

Crush about 24 oreo cookies (filling and all). Add 6 T softened butter to cookies.  Mix together and press into a 9x13 pan.  Freeze for at least 20 min.  In the  meantime, remove 1 carton of mint chocolate chip ice cream (during the holidays I use peppermint ice cream) from freezer and let the ice cream soften.  Press softened ice cream onto the oreo crust.  Freeze for an hour or more.  Cut in squares and serve with hot fudge sauce and whipping cream.  Add candles for Andrea's birthday and make a wish!
