Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches with a twist of sweetness and crunch!
Ingredients:
Oreo cookies (regular or golden, 1 package)
Vanilla ice cream (or your favorite ice cream flavor, 2 cups, softened)
Crushed nuts (optional, like crushed almonds or pecans, 1/2 cup)
Salt (a pinch for sprinkling)
Caramel sauce (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Ice Cream Filling:
Let the ice cream soften slightly at room temperature so it's easier to scoop and spread.
If you want extra texture, fold in crushed nuts or any desired mix-ins into the softened ice cream.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches:
Take an Oreo cookie and gently twist it to separate the halves.
On one half of the cookie, scoop a generous amount of softened ice cream and spread it evenly.
Top with the other half of the Oreo cookie, pressing down lightly to form a sandwich.
3. Add a Crunchy Coating:
Roll the sides of the ice cream sandwich in crushed nuts for added texture and flavor (optional). You can also roll it in extra crushed Oreo crumbs for an extra chocolatey crunch.
4. Freeze:
Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the sandwiches for at least 2 hours or until the ice cream firms up.
5. Serve:
Once frozen, drizzle with caramel sauce and a sprinkle of sea salt for extra indulgence.
Serve immediately or keep them in the freezer for later!
Enjoy these rich and creamy ice cream-filled Oreo sandwiches as a delicious treat for any occasion!
