Oreo Crust Ice Cream Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Set a medium bowl over a larger bowl full of ice and water, so that the ice water surrounds it. Place a second large bowl in the refrigerator.
• Bring 1 1/2 cups of the cream just to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Place the chocolate, corn syrup and salt in a heatproof medium bowl and pour the hot cream over top. Let sit 1 minute to slightly melt the chocolate. Stir the chocolate and cream together with a rubber spatula, using small circular motions starting at the center of the bowl until emulsified and smooth. Transfer the mixture to the medium bowl set inside the ice bath and refrigerate for 15 minutes, stirring halfway, until thickened and cooled. Makes about 2 3/4 cups.
• Remove the empty chilled large bowl from the refrigerator. Add the remaining 2 cups of heavy whipping cream, vanilla and confectioners' sugar and whip on high with a handheld electric mixer until medium-stiff peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside.
• Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and use a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy-bottomed skillet to crush into bite-size pieces.
• Evenly spread half of the softened ice cream on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spread 2 heaping cups of the crushed cookies over the ice cream followed by half of the chocolate sauce and 1 heaping cup of the whipped cream.
• Repeat the layers with the remaining ice cream, 2 heaping cups of the crushed cookies and the remaining chocolate sauce. Spread the remaining whipped cream over top and sprinkle with the remaining 1 1/2 cups crushed cookies. Wrap the baking dish in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 4 hours to overnight.

Steps:

• Directions: Makes 2 cakes. To Make Crust: Place content of ~one package of orea cookies in food processor. Add softened butter (~3 tbsp) and blend until course. Press into bottom of springform pans (preline bottom with parchment paper). Line edge of pan with whole oreo cookies. To make cake: Soften ice cream (leave it out on the counter with a sign for your husband "keep your paws out of this" or microwave for brief spurts). Consistency should be easy to spread but not liquid. Spread out half of one gallon onto each crust. Freeze for 2-3 hours (until firm again). Place caramel or fudge sauce on top, refreeze. Place half of final gallon of ice cream on each cake. Freeze. To serve, remove springform edges. If you use caramel, it oozes out of the cake. Very tasty.

Steps:

• Grease a 9x13" pan.
• Crush the cookies, either in a food processor or put them in a plastic bag and beat the heck out of them. Layer half of the crumbs in the pan.
• Spread the softened ice cream over the cookies.
• Warm the fudge until pourable in the microwave and pour over the ice cream.
• Spread the Cool Whip over the fudge. Then cover with the rest of the oreos.
• Put it in the freezer for probably at least two hours or until it gets firm.
• Take it out of the freezer about 20 minutes before you want to serve it.
