Prep Time 5 minutes
Additional Time 4 hours
Total Time 4 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • chocolate ice cream
  • 5 ice cream sandwiches
  • 12 Oreo cookies, crushed w/ 1/4 cup reserved
  • 1/2 jar hot fudge topping or homemade hot fudge sauce
  • 1 can Reddi-wip or homemade whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving a good amount hanging over each long side.
  2. Let your ice cream set out until it's really soft. Spread a layer that's about 1/2-inch thick evenly across the bottom of the pan, making sure to push it into all of the corners.
  3. Line up 5 ice cream sandwiches on top of the ice cream layer. They will be a bit of a tight fit, but just press down firmly and they'll conform to the pan.
  4. Spread about half a jar of hot fudge topping (or homemade hot fudge sauce) on top of the ice cream bars, and then sprinkle on a layer of crushed Oreo cookies. Make sure to reserve about 1/4 cup of the crushed cookies.
  5. Add the final layer of chocolate ice cream and fold the plastic wrap over the top. Place in the freezer for about 4 hours to freeze through.
  6. After freezing, lift the entire ice cream cake out of the pan using the plastic wrap and transfer it to a serving platter. Top it off with Reddi-wip or homemade whipped cream and a sprinkling of crushed Oreo cookies.
  7. To serve, slice with a knife that's been dipped in warm water.
