- ½ gallon mint
chocolate chip ice cream (softened 5–10 minutes)
- 1½–2 cups crushed
Oreo cookies (or chocolate sandwich cookies)
- Hershey’s chocolate
syrup (for drizzling)
- (Optional) Whipped
cream
- (Optional) Green
sprinkles or gold sugar
Instructions
- Let ice cream
sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes so it’s
scoopable (not melted).

crushed cookies across the bottom of a 9x13-inch
pan (or use a pie dish for a thicker dessert).
Press lightly to form a crunchy base.
- Spoon ice cream
over the cookie base and spread into an even
layer.

chocolate syrup over the top in zig-zag lines.
Sprinkle with extra crushed cookies.
- Freeze 3–4
hours (or until firm). Slice into squares or
scoop to serve.
Kid-Friendly Tips
- Kids can crush cookies in a zip-top bag using
a rolling pin
- Use a spoon dipped in warm water to help
spread ice cream smoothly
- Let kids decorate with sprinkles, extra
cookies, or whipped cream swirls
Easy Variations
- “Rainbow to the gold”: Add
rainbow sprinkles on one side and gold sugar on
the other
- Extra cookie crunch: Add a
second cookie layer on top of the ice cream
before drizzling
- Mint brownie version: Swap
cookie base for crumbled brownies
Notes
Keep leftovers covered in the
freezer. For clean slices, run a knife under hot
water, wipe dry, then cut. Repeat as needed.
