are you thinking you need a treat to keep you cool this summer?
well, this one should do the trick!
you’ll need:
25ish oreo cookies
1 stick of butter
1 jar of hot fudge
1 tub of ice cream (flavor of your choice) set out to soften
1 small or large tub of cool whip
chocolate syrup
mini m&ms, sprinkles or whatever you choose to decorate with
melt your stick of butter completely.
while melting, put your oreos in a baggie and beat them like crazy with a rolling pin.
when crushed, pour them into your baking pan and mix with the melted butter.
Spread mixture evenly.
Top the crushed oreos with some warm hot fudge (just warm enough so it’s easy to spread).
Pop it into the freezer for about 15 minutes to harden.
Spoon out the ice cream and spread evenly
(we used mint chip. . . can never go wrong with that flavor).
Pop it back in the freezer for another 15 minutes for the ice cream to firm back up.
Spread the cool whip evenly.
Top with chocolate syrup and something fun and colorful!
Then put it back in the freezer and wait patiently for about an hour.
(p.s. you don’t have to make it look like a mess but every now and then it’s kinda fun to get a little crazy and not make something look so perfect + the kids will think you’re cool.)
enjoy!
(p.s.s. thanks to our friend pam in the great state of utah for sharing this recipe with us many moons ago…
i think we have tried every flavor of ice cream in it since!)

Store what matters most!
I read this yesterday morning and it was on my mind when I went to the grocery store. My kids (and hubby) loved it! Oh, and me too. We did oreos, mint chip, cool whip and m&m's…forgot the chocolate syrup. It was like the best blizzard I have ever had…thanks for sharing!
This is perfect for today. It's going to be over 100 degrees!!
This is one of our family's favorite desserts. We like to have it at Christmas time with peppermint icecream…YUMMY!
Oooh that peppermint one sounds delish! What a fun christmas treat out of the norm too! I've made this lots of times without the butter, so if you want to save a few calories the cookies mashed up is fine. The frosting in betwwen helps it stick together. My fav is rocky road!!

Oh my. It's so hot here today. This looks fantastic!! My boys would love the sprinkles. 🙂
This recipe is my son's favorite birthday cake since he was tiny and he's now 20! We've found mint, coffee and peanut butter oreos at different times, and used them to make different varieties of the cake!
Thanks for this. Going to the beach next week. Will make this while we are there!
oh my gosh i am FAMOUS!!!! So happy to share my love for food with my BFF"S LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
This was the go-to birthday cake when we were kids. We called it mud pie. Made with plain ole vanilla. One difference…never did use butter at all. The cream makes the crust stay together just fine I have found…at least for an ice cream cake. Over the years, as I have made it for my own family I have played with mint, and coffee flavored as well! LOVE IT SO MUCH We too make it at Christmas with the seasonal peppermint ice cream that comes out…that tradition started just a couple years ago. Love your site!
I was just thinking that I wanted to learn how to make an ice cream cake. Looks like my kids will be getting one for their birthdays coming up. Thanks for sharing!
This sounds absolutely wonderful for a hot summer day Thanks!!!
