What Is Oreo Sandwich Ice Cream?
It’s a layered dessert made from homemade Oreo ice cream (no machine needed!) pressed between cookie layers — usually Oreos, but we’re going big with options like chocolate wafers, brownie slabs, or even Oreo thins. Once frozen, you slice them into bars and bite into that soft, creamy, cookie-filled heaven.
Perfect for parties, freezer stash, or treating yourself on a hot day.

How to Make Oreo Sandwich Ice Cream
Step 1: Make the No-Churn Ice Cream
In a large bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks. In a separate bowl, mix sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and malted milk powder (if using). Gently fold whipped cream into the milk mixture. Stir in crushed Oreos.
Set aside while you prep the sandwich layers.
Step 2: Layer the Base
Line your baking pan with parchment, leaving an overhang. Lay down your first layer of cookies or brownie slab. Spread the Oreo ice cream mixture evenly over the base using an offset spatula.
Step 3: Add the Top Layer
Place the second layer of cookies (or brownie) on top, pressing down gently. Cover with plastic wrap or foil.
Step 4: Freeze Until Firm
Freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until solid and sliceable.
Step 5: Slice & Serve
Use a sharp knife to slice into sandwiches. For clean edges, dip your knife in warm water between cuts. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
What to Serve With Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches
- A drizzle of hot fudge or peanut butter sauce
- Rolled edges in mini chocolate chips or sprinkles
- Crushed potato chips (yes — the salty crunch is amazing!)
- Paired with iced coffee or milkshakes
Tips for the Best Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Don’t over-whip the cream — stop at stiff peaks
- Let the sandwiches sit at room temp for 3–5 minutes before eating for the softest bite
- Use cookie layers with some softness — like brownies or Oreo Thins — for easier slicing
- Line your pan with parchment for easy lift and clean cuts
Storage Instructions
- Freeze: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks
