Servings: 9 squares
Ingredients
- 1 tub (1.5 qt) mint chocolate chip ice cream
- 1 large package (513g) oreo cookies
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- fresh mint leaves
- fresh berries
- assortment of gummy candy critters (worms, butterflies, frogs, etc.)
Instructions
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften while you prepare the crust.
- Remove and discard the cream filling from the oreos. Pulse the cookies in a food processor until the crumbs are fine and resemble dirt.
- Set aside ½ cup of the crumbs. Mix the remaining crumbs with the melted butter until well combined.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch pan or dish to form the crust.
- Spread the softened ice cream over the crust in an even layer.
- Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs evenly over the top of the ice cream. Clean off the edges of the pan for a tidy finish.
- Freeze the tart for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Before serving, decorate with fresh mint, berries, and gummy critters. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Try other ice cream flavors like cookies and cream or strawberry for a fun twist.
- Golden oreos or graham crackers can be used in place of chocolate oreos for a different flavor.
- For easy slicing, let the tart sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before serving.
