Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Oreo cookies (regular, Double Stuf, or your favorite flavor)
  • 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream (or chocolate, peanut butter, or cookies-and-cream)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (plus more if you like a stronger peanut butter flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra warmth)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, boosts the sweet-salty balance)
  • Optional coatings: mini chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, Oreo crumbs, rainbow sprinkles, mini peanut butter chips
  • Optional drizzle: melted chocolate or warm peanut butter for finishing

Method
 

  1. Soften the ice cream: Set the ice cream out at room temperature for 10–15 minutes until it’s scoopable but not melting.
  2. Mix the peanut butter swirl: In a small bowl, stir peanut butter with vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. If the peanut butter is very thick, microwave it for 10–15 seconds to loosen.
  3. Prepare your assembly line: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a layer of Oreos flat-side up on the sheet. Keep your toppings in small bowls nearby.
  4. Layer the filling: Add about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture onto each Oreo. Top with a rounded scoop of softened ice cream (about 2 tablespoons).
  5. Cap the sandwich: Press a second Oreo on top, twisting gently to spread the ice cream to the edges. Don’t press so hard that the cookies crack.
  6. Add coatings (optional): Roll the exposed ice cream edges in mini chips, nuts, or crumbs. Lightly press so they stick.
  7. Freeze to set: Place the sandwiches back on the parchment-lined sheet. Freeze for 1–2 hours, or until firm enough to handle and stack.
  8. Finish with a drizzle (optional): Once set, drizzle with melted chocolate or warm peanut butter. Freeze again 10 minutes to harden.
  9. Serve or store: Enjoy right away, or wrap individually and keep in the freezer for later.
