Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 12 pieces maraschino cherries (optional)
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with nonstick spray or butter. Set aside.
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even crust. Freeze for 10 minutes.
While the crust is chilling, prepare the fudge layer. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the chocolate chips, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream. Stir continuously until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the fudge mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Spread half of the softened vanilla ice cream over the chilled cookie crust, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Drizzle half of the fudge mixture evenly over the ice cream layer, spreading gently if needed. Freeze for 15 minutes to set.
Repeat the layering with the remaining ice cream and fudge mixture. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight for best results.
Before serving, remove the dessert from the freezer and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
Top with whipped cream, chopped nuts, and maraschino cherries if desired. Slice into squares and serve immediately. Enjoy!
