How to Make Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Cake
- 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.
- Drizzle the cookie crumbs with 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter. Gently press down to create a firm crust.
- 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.
- Layer the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the Oreo crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
- Gradually whisk in 1 (12-ounce) can of evaporated milk until the ganache is smooth and glossy.
- Return to low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the ganache thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Let the ganache cool slightly until it's spreadable but still warm. Pour over the frozen ice cream layer and spread evenly.
- Return the cake to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
