Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to spread.
- Place the entire package of Oreo cookies in a large resealable plastic bag. Use a rolling pin or heavy kitchen tool to crush the cookies into fine crumbs, ensuring some small chunks remain for texture.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop until completely liquid.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, mix the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter. Press the mixture firmly and evenly across the bottom of the dish to create a solid cookie crust.
- Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the Oreo cookie crust, making sure to create a smooth, consistent layer.
- Drizzle the chocolate syrup in a decorative pattern across the ice cream layer.
- Top the dessert with freshly whipped cream, spreading it gently to cover the entire surface.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2-3 hours, or until the dessert is completely firm.
- Before serving, let the dessert sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to make cutting easier.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled. Optionally, garnish with additional crushed Oreo cookies or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Tips
- Let the ice cream soften naturally at room temperature to make spreading easier - avoid microwaving, which can cause uneven melting.
- When crushing Oreo cookies, leave some small chunks for added texture and visual appeal.
- Use a flat-bottomed measuring cup or glass to press the cookie crust evenly into the dish.
- For a cleaner cut, run your knife under hot water before slicing the frozen dessert.
- For extra indulgence, try using different flavored ice creams or adding a layer of chocolate ganache.
- Make sure to freeze the dessert for at least 2-3 hours to ensure it sets properly.
- For a professional presentation, garnish with extra crushed Oreos or a drizzle of chocolate sauce just before serving.
