Method
-
Break up the Chocolate Ripple Biscuits and blitz in a food processor with the melted butter until it resembles wet sand.
-
Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of the tin and place in the fridge to set for an hour or two.
-
Remove the vanilla ice cream from the tub, place in a bowl and give it a few minutes to soften. Using a large spoon stir the ice cream until it starts to resemble soft serve.
-
Pour over the biscuit base and smooth the top, you will most likely get some of the biscuit crumbs throughout the ice cream but that is a good thing! Cover with glad wrap and place in the freezer for a few hours or until set.
