OREO ICE CREAM CAKE

INGREDIENTS:

-2 regular size packages of Oreos

-1 carton of vanilla ice cream

-1/4 cup melted butter

-Cooking spray

-Toppings of your choice (I did rainbow sprinkles & added chocolate syrup when cut & served)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Take 1 package of Oreos (or 36 cookies) & crush them into crumbs. I used my blender & pulsed 3 batches of 12 cookies until they were really fine. Place in a large bowl & add melted butter. Mix until completely combined.

2. Spray a 9x13 baking dish lightly with cooking spray & press crumb mixture into the bottom of the pan evenly to form a crust. Make sure to press down firmly. Place into the freezer for at least a half hour.

3. Meanwhile, allow the ice cream to thaw. After it was easy to remove from the carton, I put mine in a large bowl & kept stirring it every so often until it was the consistency of soft serve.

4. Carefully spread the softened ice cream on top of the Oreo crust. Then break apart Oreos from the 2nd package and sprinkle them on top. (as many as you want) Add sprinkles at this time, if using.

Cover & freeze for a few hours until it is completely set up or overnight.

5. Cut into squares & serve as is or drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving.
