Ingredients

Scale
  1. 36 Oreos (19.1 oz family-size package; reserve extras for topping)
  2. 1 stick unsalted butter (½ cup), melted
  3. ½ gallon cookies and cream ice cream, softened slightly
  4. 1 jar hot fudge sauce (1214 oz), warmed slightly
  5. 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust

Crush 36 Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined and press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan using the back of a spoon or the bottom of a glass.

Step 2: Add the Ice Cream Layer

Spread softened cookies and cream ice cream evenly over the crust using a sturdy spatula. Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for 1 hour until firm.

Step 3: Layer on Hot Fudge

Warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for 15–20 seconds until pourable but not hot. Spread evenly over the frozen ice cream layer. Cover and return to the freezer for another hour.

Step 4: Top with Whipped Topping

Spread thawed Cool Whip over the fudge layer in an even layer. Garnish with crushed Oreos for texture and decoration. Cover again and freeze for at least 3–4 hours or overnight.

Step 5: Serve

Remove from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut clean slices. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve chilled on its own or pair with fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
  • Drizzle caramel or chocolate syrup over slices for extra indulgence.

Tips & Tricks

  • Soften ice cream just enough to spread easily but avoid letting it melt completely.
  • Use parchment paper to line the pan for easier removal of slices.

Storage & Reheating

  • Store leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the freezer for up to one week. For longer storage, use an airtight container to prevent freezer burn.
  • To serve again, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before slicing.
