Description
A creamy, indulgent dessert with layers of cookies & cream ice cream, vanilla ice cream, and a crunchy Oreo crust, topped with whipped cream and chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- For the crust:
1 1/2 cups Oreo cookie crumbs (about 15 Oreo cookies)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the ice cream layers:
4 cups cookies & cream ice cream (softened)
2 cups vanilla ice cream (softened)
For the topping:
1/2 cup whipped cream
1/4 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
4 Oreo cookies, crushed (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well combined and resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly. Freeze the crust for about 30 minutes to set.
- Layer the ice cream: Once the crust is firm, take the softened cookies & cream ice cream and spread it evenly over the crust layer. Smooth it out with a spatula. Freeze for 30-45 minutes to allow the ice cream to harden slightly.
- After the cookies & cream layer has set, spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the first ice cream layer. Use a spatula to smooth it out. Freeze again for about 1 hour to let the ice cream layers firm up.
- Prepare the topping: In a small mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and crushed Oreos over the whipped cream topping for added crunch and flavor.
- Freeze the cake: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Serve: Once frozen, remove the cake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy!

- If you prefer, use store-bought ice cream for convenience.
