Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat the freezer if necessary and use an ungreased 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Crumble 25 Oreo cookies and line the bottom of the pan with them.
- Slice three-quarters of a half-gallon of fudge swirl ice cream and layer it atop the Oreo crumbs.

- Pour chocolate syrup over the top and sprinkle with 20 crumbled Oreo cookies.
- Freeze until firm and ready to serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using double-stuffed Oreo cookies instead of regular ones. If you want a lighter dessert, try using a low-fat ice cream and reduced-fat cream cheese. To save time, you can use store-bought chocolate syrup or even caramel sauce for a twist. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dessert as a delightful finish to a summer barbecue or alongside a slice of Blueberry Cake And Frosting for a sweet spread. It pairs beautifully with fresh fruit like strawberries or a scoop of fruit sorbet for a refreshing contrast. For a fun presentation, garnish with additional cookie crumbles and a drizzle of chocolate syrup on individual plates.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer. If you plan to keep it longer than a week, consider wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap before placing it in a container to prevent freezer burn. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly before cutting into squares.
