Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 (13.29-ounce) package Oreos, crushed (reserve ½ cup for topping)
- ¼ cup butter, melted
Filling & Topping
- ½ gallon cookies and cream ice cream, softened
- 1 (16-ounce) jar hot fudge, warmed
- 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Add the crushed Oreo cookie crumbs to a bowl, reserving ½ cup crumbs for the topping. Mix in the melted butter thoroughly until combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch pan to form the crust layer.
- Layer the ice cream: Spread the softened cookies and cream ice cream evenly over the Oreo crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Place the pan in the freezer and freeze for 2 hours to set.
- Add the fudge layer: Drizzle the warmed hot fudge sauce evenly over the hardened ice cream layer. Return the cake to the freezer and freeze for an additional 1 hour to allow the fudge to firm up.
- Top and freeze: Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the fudge layer. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs on top as garnish. Freeze the assembled cake for 2 more hours to fully set the layers.
- Serve: Remove the ice cream cake from the freezer about 15 minutes before serving to allow it to soften slightly for easier slicing. Enjoy this creamy, crunchy, and chocolatey dessert!
Notes
- For easier spreading, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften.
- Use a greased or parchment-lined pan to prevent sticking.
- You can substitute hot fudge with chocolate syrup if preferred, though the texture may be looser.
- Store leftover cake in the freezer tightly covered to maintain freshness.
- Feel free to add layers of crushed Oreos between the ice cream and fudge for extra texture.
