Well, I turned around to ask Buddha how he liked it, and he showed me his plate... it was licked clean! The only change I made was to make it in my springform pan, add 1/4 cup of creamy peanut butter to the ice cream, and add a layer of cool whip and a drizzle of Hershey's chocolate syrup over top. I will note that the oreo crumb did not hold well so I would recommend using 3 tbsp of butter next time. Great recipe, and very easy to assemble. If you love Reese's peanut butter cups, chocolate ice cream, and coffee, this one will knock your socks off! Thanks for sharing! :)
