Ingredients for the Crust and Filling

16-20 sugar cookies or Golden Oreo Cookies
3 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
1 pint Vanilla ice cream, softened at room temperature
1 pint Strawberry ice cream, softened at room temperature

Ingredients For Topping

10-12 Crushed Golden Oreo Cookies
Strawberry Sprinkles

Directions

Begin by lining a baking pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
To make the crust, pulse sugar cookies or Oreo cookies in a food processor to form fine crumbs. Add melted butter, and mix with your fingers to form a crumbly mix.
Press the crumb firmly onto the parchment-lined baking dish, and place in the freezer for an hour or two.

To assemble the dessert, remove crust from the freezer, and spread about 2 cups of softened vanilla ice cream. Top with softened strawberry ice cream, and use an offset spatula to give the ice cream layers a smooth finish.

Top with crushed Oreos and strawberry sprinkles and place in the freezer for at least 4-5 hours or overnight.

To serve, cut into bars and enjoy.

Helpful Tips and Recipe Variations

You can use strawberry sorbet in place of strawberry ice cream. This infuses the fresh flavor of the fruit in your dessert. Try sourcing strawberry ice cream or sorbet that has chunks of the fruit in it. Not only do the strawberry bits make your ice cream bars look pretty, but they also provide great texture to the dessert.

Substitute strawberry sprinkles with freeze-dried strawberries and pulse it with the Golden Oreos to make the topping. Adding a spoon of melted butter to the freeze-dried strawberry and Oreo crumb mix will give a nice crumbly topping that contrasts the creamy texture of the ice cream filling.
To switch up the flavor profile, use chocolate cookies to make the crust or use chocolate ice cream in place of vanilla for a chocolaty treat.

It’s important that both ice cream flavors are softened or else they won’t spread evenly on the crust.
Homemade strawberry shortcake ice cream tastes great and is easy to make. Treat your family to this decadent dessert to see happy faces.
