Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreo)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cups Vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
- 3 cups Chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl, and stir in the melted butter until well combined.
Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to form an even crust. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly. Spread it evenly over the cookie crust. Freeze for 20 minutes.
Remove the chocolate ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly. Spread it evenly over the vanilla ice cream layer. Smooth with a spatula and freeze for another 20 minutes.
To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer (do not let it boil). Remove from heat and pour it over the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
Let the chocolate and cream sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
Allow the ganache to cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then pour it evenly over the frozen chocolate ice cream layer. Smooth with a spatula if needed.
Sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles over the ganache for added texture and decoration, if desired.
Freeze the entire dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.
To serve, let the dessert sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier. Cut into squares and enjoy!
