INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare the crust:
Mix crushed Oreos with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a square baking pan lined with parchment. Freeze for 15 minutes.
2. Make the ice cream filling:
Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Gently fold in the whipped cream, then fold in the crushed Oreos.
3. Assemble:
Pour the Oreo ice cream mixture over the frozen crust. Smooth the top. Cover and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
4. Cut and coat:
Remove from the pan, slice into bars, and insert popsicle sticks (optional). Place back in freezer while you make the coating.
5. Make the chocolate coating:
Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth. Let cool slightly but keep it pourable.
6. Decorate:
Drizzle chocolate over each bar. Quickly top with whole Oreos, chopped pecans, or sprinkles before it sets. Freeze again for 15 minutes to firm up.
