Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix Cool Whip, sweetened condensed milk, and ice cream in a large bowl.
- In an 11 x 13-inch pan, spread a layer of crumbled Oreo cookies on the bottom.
- Pour the ice cream mixture over the cookie layer.
- Create a second layer with remaining Oreo crumbles, ending with a layer of ice cream on top.

Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla. You can also substitute regular Cool Whip with a dairy-free alternative for a vegan option. If you're looking for added texture, try folding in some crushed nuts or mini chocolate chips into the ice cream mixture. This dessert can be made ahead of time for parties or gatherings, making it a stress-free treat.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dessert chilled straight from the freezer, garnished with the reserved cookie crumbs for added crunch. It pairs beautifully with a drizzle of chocolate syrup or whipped cream on the side. For a fun twist, consider serving it alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the Oreo flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to two weeks. To enjoy again, let the dessert sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Avoid refreezing once it has thawed to maintain the best texture and flavor.
