Ingredients:
- 24 standard rectangular ice cream sandwiches (3.5 oz each)
- 12 oz premium hot fudge topping, warmed
- 20 Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed
- 16 oz whipped topping, thawed
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Line the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan with a single layer of 12 ice cream sandwiches. Trim edges with a sharp knife if necessary to ensure a snug, wall-to-wall fit to prevent leakage.
- Spread half of the warmed hot fudge topping over the first layer of sandwiches using an offset spatula.
- Immediately sprinkle half of the crushed Oreo cookies over the fudge to create a signature crunch layer.
- Repeat the process by adding a second layer of 12 ice cream sandwiches, followed by the remaining hot fudge and another portion of crushed cookies.
- Fold the vanilla extract into the whipped topping. Spread the mixture evenly over the top layer using an offset spatula to seal the edges.
- Top with remaining cookie crumbles. Cover and freeze for at least 4 hours until the core reaches a deep-freeze temperature of -5°F.
