Equipment
- 1 baking sheet or tray
- 1 Parchment Paper or Wax Paper
- 1 ice cream scoop or spoon
- 1 butter knife or small spatula (for separating cookies)
- 1 spoon or small spatula (for smoothing ice cream)
- 1 airtight container (for storing)
Ingredients
- 12 Oreo cookies
- 2 cups 480 ml ice cream (flavor of choice, softened)
- Optional toppings chocolate chips, sprinkles, crushed Oreos, chopped nuts
Instructions
Prepare the Oreo Cookies:
- Gently twist apart the Oreo cookies, leaving the cream intact or removing it depending on your preference. Set the cookies aside.
Soften the Ice Cream:
- Let the ice cream soften for 5-10 minutes at room temperature to make it easier to scoop and spread.
Assemble the Ice Cream Sandwiches:
- Take one Oreo cookie and scoop a generous amount of softened ice cream onto the center. Place a second Oreo cookie on top and gently press it down to spread the ice cream to the edges.
Freeze the Sandwiches:
- Place the assembled sandwiches on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour or until the ice cream is firm.
Add Toppings (Optional):
- After freezing, dip the edges in mini chocolate chips, crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or any other toppings you desire. Freeze for an additional 15 minutes to set.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Once firm, your Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches are ready to be served. Enjoy immediately or store in the freezer for later!
