How to Make Brandi's Awesome Ice Cream Cake

Allow 2 pints of ice cream and 1 cup of whipped cream to thaw slightly on the counter for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare one 3.4 ounce box of chocolate pudding according to package directions.
Set the pudding aside to cool slightly.
Gently fold the partially thawed ice cream and whipped cream together until well combined.
The mixture should resemble a soft-serve ice cream consistency.
Crush 22 Oreos (reserve 2 for garnish) using a zip-top bag and rolling pin or food processor until finely crushed.
Mix half of the crushed Oreos with half of the chocolate pudding and spread evenly in the bottom of a 9x9 inch glass dish.
Layer half of the ice cream mixture on top of the Oreo-pudding layer.
Crush 22 more Oreos (reserve 2 for garnish) using a zip-top bag and rolling pin or food processor until finely crushed.
Mix the remaining crushed Oreos with the rest of the chocolate pudding and spread this layer evenly on top of the ice cream.
Layer the remaining ice cream mixture on top of the pudding and Oreo layer.
Crush the remaining 4 Oreos coarsely and sprinkle them evenly over the top of the cake.
Drizzle generously with chocolate syrup (about 1/2 cup hot fudge).
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to firm up completely.
Let the cake sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to slightly soften.
