This Oreo Ice Cream Dessert layers cookies and cream into a simple, no-bake treat that’s perfect for warm weather.
If you love Oreos and cookies-and-cream flavor, this dessert is for you. It combines crushed cookies, softened ice cream, warm hot fudge, and whipped topping into rustic layered slices. No baking required, minimal prep, and great for serving a crowd—think ice cream cake made easy.
The texture is delightful: chunky Oreo pieces in the crust, soft cookies-and-cream ice cream, a ribbon of hot fudge, and a whipped topping finish with more cookie crunch. It’s quick to assemble and makes a refreshing centerpiece for barbecues, potlucks, or family dessert night.
Cookies-and-cream ice cream is one of those classic favorites, and this recipe makes the flavor shine. It’s also easy to adapt: swap in a different ice cream flavor or add chopped nuts if you like extra texture.
Serve this after a summer meal or bring it to a gathering—it’s attractive and indulgent without fuss. For best results, allow slices to rest briefly at room temperature before cutting so they slice cleanly.
Oreo Ice Cream Dessert
Ingredients
- 19.1 oz (544 g) family size package Oreos (about 48 cookies)
- 1/3 cup (75 g) butter, melted
- 1/2 gallon (about 0.7 L) cookies and cream ice cream, softened
- 11.75 oz (333 g) jar hot fudge
- 8 oz (226 g) tub whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Place cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin into medium chunks (avoid grinding to fine crumbs). Reserve 1 cup of the crushed cookies for the topping. Mix the remaining crushed cookies with the melted butter and press evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
- Spread the softened ice cream over the cookie crust in an even layer. If needed, cut the ice cream into rectangles and smooth them together for full coverage. Freeze until the ice cream is firm; timing depends on how soft it was when you started.
- Warm the hot fudge in the microwave until spreadable, about 45–55 seconds, then drizzle over the ice cream and smooth with a spatula. Return to the freezer until the fudge sets, about 30 minutes.
- Spread the whipped topping evenly over the chilled fudge layer and sprinkle with the reserved crushed Oreos. Freeze for about 2 hours or until fully firm. Remove from the freezer about 10 minutes before serving to make slicing easier; dipping a knife in hot water and wiping it clean between cuts helps achieve neat slices. Enjoy!
