Instructions:

  1.  Place cartons of ice cream on counter to melt slightly.  Place a few cookies at a time in a blender and crush until cookie crumbs measure to 3 1/2 cups.  Place the crushed crumbs in a large bowl.  Pour the cream over the crumbs and stir until the crumbs are moistened and come together.  Remove 2 1/4 cups of the moistened crumbs and place on bottom of spring form pan.  Press crumbs over bottom and up the sides of pan, about 1-inch.  Place pan in freezer for 10 minutes.
 
  1.  Remove pan from freezer and spoon out the vanilla ice cream over the crumbs. Press and smooth the ice cream as you go to fit snugly over the crumbs.  Next, spread ½ of the jar of the strawberry preserves over the strawberry ice cream.  Now, add 1 cup of the cookie crumbs over the preserves.  Next, top the cookie crumbs with the 1/3 cup of the white chocolate chips.
 
  1. Now, spoon out the vanilla ice cream over the strawberry layer.  Press and smooth out the ice cream until evenly flat.  Top the vanilla layer with the remainder of the strawberry preserves.  Top the preserves with the remainder ¼ cup of the crumbs.  Finally top the crumbs with the remainder of the 1/3 cup white chocolate chips.
 
  1.  Place the cake in the freezer for at least 8 hours, or overnight.  Lightly cover the top of the cake with clear wrap to avoid freezer burn.  Make the strawberry topping by combining the strawberries and sugar. Place in a covered container and keep in refrigerator until cake is completely frozen.
  5         Remove cake from freezer and gently remove outer pan.  Using a butter knife, loosen the bottom of the cake and place on large round platter.   Place some of the fresh strawberry topping on the top middle of the cake. Flute the edge of cake with whipped cream before serving.  Makes 16-20 slices.
