Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 gallon Ice cream (flavor of choice)
- 20 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
- 1 cup Chocolate syrup or fudge sauce
- 0.25 cup Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Take the ice cream out of the freezer and let it slightly soften for about 10-15 minutes until it's easy to spread.
Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and smashing with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in the microwave and mix it with the crushed cookie crumbs until evenly combined.
Press the cookie and butter mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust.
Spread half of the softened ice cream evenly over the crust, smoothing it with a spatula.
Drizzle half of the chocolate syrup or fudge sauce over the first layer of ice cream.
Spread half of the whipped topping evenly over the chocolate layer.
Repeat the process: Add the second layer of softened ice cream, drizzle with the remaining chocolate syrup, and spread the rest of the whipped topping over the top.
Decorate the top with sprinkles or any other toppings of your choice, such as chopped nuts, cookie pieces, or candy.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Remove the ice cream cake from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to make it easier to cut into slices.
