How to Make Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Dessert With Homemade Chocolate Topping

  1. Crush 1 package (16 ounces) of Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Mix the melted butter into the crushed Oreos until evenly moistened.
  2. Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to ensure an even layer.
  3. Spread 1/2 gallon of your favorite ice cream (vanilla or peppermint recommended) evenly over the Oreo crust.
  4. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is solid.
  5. While the ice cream freezes, prepare the chocolate ganache: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Stir frequently until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
  7. Drizzle the warm chocolate ganache evenly over the frozen ice cream layer.
  8. Return the dessert to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the ganache to set before serving.
