Ingredients
  

  • 22 Oreo cookies (crushed, reserve 2 tbsp for topping)
  • ½ ga vanilla ice cream (softened)
  • 16 oz Hershey’s hot fudge sauce
  • 8 oz whipped topping ( like Cool Whip)

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Base

  • Crush 22 Oreo cookies and spread evenly into a 9x11-inch pan.
  • Place the pan in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up the base.

Step 2: Add Ice Cream Layer

  • Spread softened vanilla ice cream over the frozen Oreo layer.
  • Return to the freezer until firm (about 1 hour).

Step 3: Add Fudge Layer

  • Warm fudge sauce slightly if needed for spreading.
  • Spread the hot fudge evenly over the ice cream.
  • Freeze again until firm.

Step 4: Add Whipped Topping

  • Spread whipped topping evenly over the fudge layer.
  • Sprinkle with reserved crushed Oreo crumbs.

Step 5: Final Freeze

  • Cover the pan tightly and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Tips

  • Use chocolate or mint-chip ice cream instead of vanilla for a flavor twist.
  • Substitute crushed chocolate graham crackers for part of the Oreo layer to cut sweetness.
  • Warm the fudge slightly to make spreading easier, but do not let it melt the ice cream.
  • Add a layer of chopped nuts between the fudge and ice cream for crunch.
  • Mix a little espresso powder into the fudge layer for a mocha version.
  • Make individual servings using small ramekins for easy entertaining.
  • Add a drizzle of caramel on top before serving.
  • Use Cool Whip Extra Creamy for a more stable whipped topping layer.
  • For cleaner slices, freeze solid and cut with a warm knife.
  • Swap the Cool Whip for homemade whipped cream if serving the same day.
