Ingredients:
For the Ice Cream Cake:
1 pint vanilla ice cream (or flavor of your choice)
1 pint chocolate ice cream (or flavor of your choice)
1 ½ cups crushed Oreos
¼ cup melted butter
½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
For the Chocolate Dip:
1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
Optional Garnish:
Extra crushed Oreos
Sprinkles or mini chocolate chips
Directions:
Prepare the Oreo Crunch Base:
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter. Stir until the mixture is evenly combined and has a crumbly texture.
Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking pan (or any other square/rectangular dish). Use a spoon to press it down firmly to form a solid base.
Layer the Ice Cream:
Let the vanilla and chocolate ice cream soften slightly at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, so it becomes easier to spread.
Start by spreading a layer of the vanilla ice cream over the Oreo base, smoothing it out with a spatula. Then, follow with a layer of chocolate ice cream.
If you'd like, sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on top of the chocolate ice cream for added texture.
Freeze the Cake:
Once both ice cream layers are in place, cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
Prepare the Chocolate Dip:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Cut and Dip the Cake Slices:
Once the ice cream cake is fully frozen, remove it from the freezer. Cut the cake into slices, ensuring each slice is firm and holds together well.
One by one, dip each slice into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Place the dipped slices back on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
Optional Garnish:
Immediately after dipping the slices in chocolate, sprinkle crushed Oreos, mini chocolate chips, or sprinkles on top for extra decoration.
Final Freeze:
Return the slices to the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating has set.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Once the chocolate coating is set, your Chocolate-Dipped Ice Cream Cake Slices are ready to serve! They can be served immediately after freezing, but they’re also great to make ahead for a party.
Storage: Store the leftover cake slices in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. They remain just as delicious, though the Oreo crunch may soften over time, so enjoy them fresh for the best texture.
