Description

These 2-Ingredient Ice Cream Sandwiches are a simple and delightful treat combining classic Oreo cookies with your favorite premium ice cream. Perfect for a quick homemade dessert, this recipe yields creamy, crunchy sandwiches that you can customize with any ice cream flavor. With just Oreo cookies and ice cream, you’ll create a delicious frozen treat that’s perfect for warm days or anytime you crave a nostalgic sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Ice Cream

  • 1 pint premium ice cream, straight from the freezer

Cookies

  • 16 Oreo sandwich cookies (plus extras as needed for breaks)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ice cream: Lay a piece of parchment paper at least 18 inches long on a flat surface. Run a dull knife around the edge of the pint to loosen the ice cream, and let it slip out onto the parchment. Cut the cylinder in half lengthwise and lay the two halves on their sides end to end. Wrap the parchment around the ice cream and gently form it into a log approximately the diameter of one Oreo cookie. Wrap tightly and place in the freezer until frozen solid, at least 1 hour.
  2. Prepare the Oreos: Using a baking sheet that fits in the freezer, twist each Oreo cookie open and scrape off the filling with a dull knife. Discard the filling or share it. Arrange 16 cookie halves scraped side up on the baking sheet to prepare for the ice cream topping and set aside.
  3. Slice the ice cream: Once the ice cream log is fully frozen and solid, remove it from the freezer and cut it into approximately 16 slices about 1/2 inch thick each using a thin, sharp knife.
  4. Assemble: Quickly place one ice cream slice on each upturned cookie half, then top with the other half of the cookie. Place the assembled ice cream sandwiches on the baking sheet and return it to the freezer to let the ice cream solidify again before storing them in an airtight container.
  5. Storage and serving: For a cookie that maintains some crunch, wait about 12 hours before eating. For softer cookie wafers similar to store-bought sandwiches, wait 24 hours or more. Consume homemade ice cream sandwiches within one week for best quality.

Notes

  • Use premium ice cream for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • If any Oreo cookies break, have extras on hand to replace them.
  • Removing the filling from Oreos helps prevent excess sweetness and allows the ice cream flavor to shine.
  • Cutting and assembling the sandwiches quickly helps prevent the ice cream from melting too much.
  • Adjust the freezing times based on your freezer’s temperature and the desired softness of the cookie.
  • These sandwiches can be customized using different flavors of ice cream to suit your taste preferences.
