-Ingredient Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches
Ingredients
For the Oreo Crust and Topping
- 1 family-size pack Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs, plus 6 whole cookies separated into halves
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Ice Cream Filling
- 1 1/2 quarts cookies & cream ice cream, softened slightly
Instructions
- 1
Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift the finished bars. Set aside.
⏱️ 2 min

Place the majority of the Oreo cookies (excluding the 6 whole cookies for the middle layer) into a large freezer-safe plastic bag. Using a small pot or rolling pin, crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, pulse them in a food processor until finely ground.
⏱️ 5 min

Transfer the crushed Oreo crumbs to a metal mixing bowl. Pour the melted unsalted butter over the crumbs. Mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon or spatula until the crumbs are evenly moistened and resemble wet sand.
⏱️ 3 min
- 4
Press approximately half of the Oreo-butter mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to create the base layer. Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure it's compact.
⏱️ 5 min
- 5
Scoop the slightly softened cookies & cream ice cream over the Oreo base. Using a spatula, spread the ice cream evenly across the entire base layer, making sure to reach the edges.
⏱️ 5 min
- 6
Arrange the separated whole Oreo cookie halves on top of the ice cream layer, pressing them down gently. These will serve as guides for cutting the bars later and add an extra layer of cookie texture.
⏱️ 3 min
- 7
Carefully spread the remaining Oreo-butter mixture over the ice cream layer, covering the whole Oreos completely. Gently press down to form the top crust, being careful not to disturb the ice cream too much.
⏱️ 5 min
- 8
Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Freeze overnight, or for at least 8-10 hours, until completely firm.
⏱️ 1 min
- 9
Once completely frozen, remove the pan from the freezer. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the large block of ice cream sandwiches out of the pan. Place it on a cutting board.
⏱️ 2 min
- 10
Using a sharp, warm knife (run under hot water and wipe dry), cut the block into individual bars, following the pattern of the whole Oreos laid in the ice cream. Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in the freezer.
