1. Prepare the cookie crumble crust: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are fine crumbs. Transfer to a mixing bowl and stir in melted butter until well combined.
2. Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust. Place the pan in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes.
3. Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften for about 10 minutes. Spread half of the softened ice cream evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
4. Pour the fudge sauce over the ice cream layer, spreading it evenly. Freeze the pan for 10 minutes to firm up the fudge layer.
5. Sprinkle the chocolate shell topping over the fudge layer, allowing it to set into a crunchy texture. Add the remaining softened ice cream evenly over the top.
6. Spread the whipped topping evenly over the ice cream layer. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
7. If desired, sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on top for decoration.
8. Cover the cake with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to fully set.
9. Before serving, remove the cake from the springform pan and transfer it to a serving platter. Allow the cake to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
10. Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade ice cream cake!
