GLUTEN-FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM DESSERT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir cookie mix, butter and egg until soft dough forms. On ungreased cookie sheet, make 5 cookies by dropping dough by tablespoonfuls. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.
• Meanwhile, using moistened fingers (dough will be sticky), press remaining dough in ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Bake 16 to 18 minutes or until set. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Spread 1/3 cup of the chocolate topping over cooled baked crust. Freeze 10 to 15 minutes or until chocolate is set. Meanwhile, remove ice cream from freezer to soften.
• Spread softened ice cream evenly over chocolate-topped crust. Crumble 5 baked cookies; sprinkle over ice cream layer. Drizzle remaining chocolate topping over cookie crumbs. Cover; freeze 2 hours or overnight.
• To serve, let stand at room temperature 10 minutes before cutting. For serving pieces, cut into 5 rows by 3 rows. Store covered in freezer.
