Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 24 Oreos (about 2 rows)
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
Ice Cream Layers
- 24 ice cream sandwiches (2 boxes)
- 8–12 ounce container Hershey’s hot fudge (warmed slightly)
Topping
- 8 ounces cool whip or homemade whipped cream (slightly softened)
- Oreo crumbs for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreos finely using a food processor or blender. Mix in the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan to form a solid crust base.
- Layer the ice cream sandwiches: Arrange the ice cream sandwiches directly on top of the Oreo crust in the pan, forming two layers. If preferred, you can use just a single row instead of two layers. Pour the warmed hot fudge in between these two layers, allowing it to act as a delicious binding agent.
- Add the whipped topping: Evenly spread the slightly softened cool whip or homemade whipped cream over the top ice cream layer, smoothing it out to cover completely. Sprinkle extra Oreo crumbs over the whipped topping for texture and garnish.
- Freeze until firm: Place the assembled cake in the freezer and chill until fully firm and set, typically at least 4 hours or preferably overnight, before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use slightly softened ice cream sandwiches for easier layering.
- Warm the hot fudge just enough to pour smoothly, but don’t overheat to avoid melting the ice cream.
- For a homemade whipped cream alternative, whip heavy cream with a little sugar until soft peaks form.
- Store leftovers in the freezer tightly covered to prevent freezer burn.
- Let the cake sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
