Prepare the Crust: Lightly grease and line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor, then mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the pan and freeze for 10 minutes.
Layer the Ice Cream: Spread the softened strawberry ice cream over the chilled crust. Sprinkle diced strawberries on top and press them in. Freeze for 30–45 minutes. Spread the chocolate ice cream over the strawberry layer and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Top and Serve: Before serving, spread whipped topping over the cake. Drizzle with ganache, garnish with strawberries and chocolate shavings, then let sit for a few minutes before slicing.

For easier slicing, dip the knife in warm water between cuts.
You can use vanilla or strawberry sorbet instead of ice cream.
