How to Make Ice Cream Sundae Dessert

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1/2 cup of milk and a pinch of salt.
Cook and stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and the mixture has thickened slightly, about 25 minutes.
Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of wafer crumbs with 1/4 cup of melted butter.
Set aside 1 cup of the wafer crumb mixture.
Press the remaining wafer crumbs into the bottom of a greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
Chill the crust in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Pour the cooled chocolate mixture evenly over the chilled wafer crumb crust.
Cover and freeze for 20-25 minutes, or until the chocolate layer is firm.
Spread your favorite ice cream evenly over the chocolate layer.
Sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of wafer crumbs over the ice cream.
Cover and freeze for at least 2 hours, or until completely firm, before serving.
