Ingredients

• 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreo)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 3 cups Vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
• 3 cups Chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 2

Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl, and stir in the melted butter until well combined.

Step 3

Press the cookie mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan to form an even crust. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the vanilla ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly. Spread it evenly over the cookie crust. Freeze for 20 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the chocolate ice cream from the freezer and let it soften slightly. Spread it evenly over the vanilla ice cream layer. Smooth with a spatula and freeze for another 20 minutes.

Step 6

To make the ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it starts to simmer (do not let it boil). Remove from heat and pour it over the semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Step 7

Let the chocolate and cream sit for 2-3 minutes, then whisk until smooth.

Step 8

Allow the ganache to cool slightly (about 5 minutes), then pour it evenly over the frozen chocolate ice cream layer. Smooth with a spatula if needed.

Step 9

Sprinkle chopped nuts or sprinkles over the ganache for added texture and decoration, if desired.

Step 10

Freeze the entire dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to set completely.

Step 11

To serve, let the dessert sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to make slicing easier. Cut into squares and enjoy!
