How to Make Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Cake

  1. Crush 24 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin. Spread evenly in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Drizzle the cookie crumbs with 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Gently press down to create a firm crust.
  3. Prepare 1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream. Let it soften slightly at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to spread.
  4. Layer the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the Oreo crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  5. Press down gently to compact the ice cream layer. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
  6. While the ice cream freezes, prepare the chocolate ganache: Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
  8. Gradually whisk in 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
  9. Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the ganache thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  11. Let the ganache cool slightly until it's spreadable but still warm. Pour over the frozen ice cream layer and spread evenly.
  12. Return the cake to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
