Ingredients
- I package of Oreo's (39 cookies)
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3/4 quart of vanilla ice cream (about 3 cups), softened
- caramel and hot fudge topping
Preparation
Step 1
Finely crush the Oreo's using a food processor or placing them in a large zip-lock bag and smashing them. Place Oreo crumbs in a bowl and add 6 tablespoons of melted butter, mix well. Line an 8x8 dish with foil. Press in half of the Oreo crumbs. (2 cups) Press firmly making an even layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
If making homemade vanilla ice cream (recipe here) start churning it as soon as you put the Oreo crust in the freezer. It will be the perfect consistency when finished. If using store bought ice cream remove from freezer to soften while the bottom layer of Oreo crust is firming up in the freezer. After the Oreo crust has been in the freezer for 30 minutes take it out and top with the vanilla ice cream. Smooth it out evenly. Place back in freezer for about 20-30 minutes. You don't want the ice cream to get really hard just hard enough that when you press the Oreo crumbs on top of it they won't sink in. This will create a hard Oreo texture for the top layer.
After about 20-30 minutes remove from freezer and top with remaining Oreo crumbs. Press gently but firmly to create a hard Oreo texture. Place back in freezer for at least 2 hours. When ready to serve, remove from freezer and pull out the foil/Oreo Madness from dish. Cut into squares and serve with caramel and chocolate topping.
