Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreo)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 cups Crisped rice cereal
- 2 cups Heavy whipping cream
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Prepare the cookie base: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Add the melted butter and blend until combined.
Press the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to create the base layer. Place in the freezer to firm up while you prepare the remaining layers.
Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semisweet chocolate chips and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted (about 1.5 minutes total).
Mix the crunch layer: Fold the crisped rice cereal into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
Spread the chocolate crunch mixture evenly over the chilled cookie base. Return the dish to the freezer to set.
Whip the cream: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
Spread the whipped cream layer evenly on top of the chocolate crunch layer. Smooth the top with a spatula for a clean finish.
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
To serve: Remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Cut into squares and serve immediately. Enjoy!
