You know those iconic DQ ice cream cakes we all grew up with? This is that—but in a jar. These Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake Jars are layered with rich fudge sauce, a chocolate cookie crunch, and creamy ice cream. They're perfectly portioned, freezer-friendly, and (bonus) ridiculously cute.
Mix crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter (and chocolate chips if using) until combined. Set aside.
1 Scoop of softened Chocolate Ice Cream
Fudge Sauce: about 1½ tablespoons
Crunch Layer: 2-3 tablespoons
1 Scoop of softened Vanilla Ice Cream
Note: Leave a little space for whipped topping later!
Cover each jar with a lid or plastic wrap and freeze for until firm, at least a couple hours.
Before Serving: Top with a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry if desired right before serving.
* Can use store bought fudge instead of making your own! Note that this makes extra but freezes well.
