Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 16 Oreo sandwich cookies
- 1 pint premium ice cream (flavor of choice)
Preparation Tools:
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
- Place an 18-inch parchment sheet on a flat surface, creating a smooth workspace for molding the ice cream.
- Carefully extract the ice cream pint by running a dull knife around its edge, releasing it onto the parchment paper.
- Slice the ice cream cylinder lengthwise, positioning both halves parallel to each other.
- Gently shape the ice cream into a log matching an Oreo’s diameter, using the parchment to compress and form. Wrap tightly and freeze until completely solid, approximately 1 hour.
- Carefully separate each Oreo cookie, removing the cream center with a dull knife. Arrange 16 cookie halves with scraped sides facing upward on a freezer-safe tray.
- Remove the frozen ice cream log and slice into 16 uniform discs, each approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Swiftly transfer an ice cream disc onto a cookie half, immediately covering with its matching cookie top to create a complete sandwich.
- Return the assembled ice cream sandwiches to the freezer, allowing them to harden completely before transferring to an airtight storage container.
- For optimal texture and flavor, allow sandwiches to rest in the freezer for a minimum of 12 hours before serving.
Notes
- Gentle knife handling prevents ice cream from cracking during slicing, ensuring smooth, clean edges for perfect presentation.
- Freezing the ice cream log beforehand creates a stable base for precise cutting and easier assembly of the sandwiches.
- Remove Oreo cream carefully to create a flat surface for better ice cream adhesion, leading to a more stable and professional-looking dessert.
- Store sandwiches in a single layer to maintain their shape and prevent sticking, which helps preserve their aesthetic appeal and texture.
