Ingredients

  • 20 vanilla sandwich cookies , such as Golden Oreos
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter , melted
  • 2 pints strawberry ice cream , softened
  • ¾ cup heavy whipping cream*
  • 8-10 large strawberries , cored and cut into pieces

Instructions

  • Line a 9x9 inch square pan* with aluminum foil, leaving an overhang around the sides.
  • Crush the cookies (wafers and filling) either in a food processor, or in a ziploc bag crushing them with a wooden spoon.
  • Mix together the crushed cookies and melted butter.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  • Spoon the ice cream over top top of the cookie crust and smooth the top.
  • Cover the pan and place in the freezer for at least an hour before serving.
  • When ready to serve, whip the cream until peaks form.
  • Spread the whipped cream over top of the ice cream and top with chopped berries.

Notes

*Feel free to use 1 ½ cups whipped topping instead. Thaw the whipped topping, then spread over top of the ice cream layer.
**Recipe can also work in an 8x8 inch pan, as long as the sides are high. If if the sides are less than 2 inches, you will just need to use a little bit less ice cream.
