Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed saltines and graham cracker crumbs. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Grease a 13x9-inch baking pan and press the crumb mixture into the bottom, then refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, instant chocolate pudding mix, and instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk for about 2 minutes until thickened and lump-free.
  3. Fold in the softened cookies and cream ice cream into the pudding mixture gently using a spatula, until well combined.
  4. Spoon the ice cream and pudding mixture over the chilled crust, spreading evenly.
  5. Add a layer of frozen whipped topping on top and smooth it out evenly. Sprinkle crushed Heath candy bars on top.
  6. Cover tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible.
  7. 30 minutes before serving, remove from the freezer to let it sit at room temperature for easier slicing.

Notes

Ensure the crust is firmly pressed down for easy slicing and serve toppings just before serving to maintain their crunch. Customize the dessert by swapping flavors or toppings as desired.
