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

  1. 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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and crushed Oreos over the whipped cream topping for added crunch and flavor.
  6. Freeze the cake: Cover the cake with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
  7. Serve: Once frozen, remove the cake from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  1. The cake can be made ahead of time and frozen overnight for best results.
  2. If you prefer, use store-bought ice cream for convenience.
  3. For a less sweet version, you can reduce the sugar in the whipped cream or use sugar-free ice cream.
  4. Ensure to freeze the cake for at least 4 hours to get the perfect texture before serving.
