The Layers of Deliciousness: Essential Ingredients

Each component of these Oreo-Stuffed Ice Cream Sandwiches is chosen to create the ultimate texture and flavor combination.

  • Chocolate & Vanilla Sandwich Cookies: These are the “stuffed” part of the recipe! We use classic chocolate Oreos inside the cookie dough and Golden Oreos inside the brownie batter. They add a fantastic, surprising crunch and another layer of flavor.
  • Vanilla Ice Cream: The cool, creamy heart of the sandwich. It’s the perfect, classic flavor to bridge the gap between the rich brownie and the sweet chocolate chip cookie. Be sure to let it soften so it’s easy to spread.

Step-by-Step Guide to Building Your Epic Dessert

Follow these detailed instructions carefully. This is a construction project as much as a recipe, and each step is crucial for the success of your Oreo-Stuffed Ice Cream Sandwiches.

  1. Prepare the Pan: First, preheat your oven to 375°F. Take an 18×13-inch rimmed baking sheet and line it with foil, ensuring you leave at least a 2-inch overhang on two opposite sides. These foil “handles” are essential for lifting the giant cookie slab out of the pan later. Coat the foil generously with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Build the Cookie Half: Arrange the 24 chocolate sandwich cookies on one half of the prepared baking sheet. Place them in 6 neat rows of 4 cookies each. Then, take your room-temperature cookie dough and press it evenly over and around the cookies, creating one giant cookie slab that covers that entire half of the pan.
  3. Build the Brownie Half: In a separate bowl, prepare the brownie batter according to the directions on the box. Pour this batter into the other empty half of the pan, right next to the cookie dough slab. Arrange the 24 vanilla sandwich cookies on top of the brownie batter, mirroring the 6×4 pattern. Gently press them into the batter.
  4. Bake and Cool: Carefully place the pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 20 to 23 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center of both the cookie portion and the brownie portion comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Let the entire slab cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, which will take about 2 hours. This step requires patience!
  5. The First Chill: Once completely cool, place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes. This quick chill will firm up the slab, making it much easier and safer to handle in the next steps of making your Oreo-Stuffed Ice Cream Sandwiches.
  6. Flip and Prep: Using the foil handles, lift the giant cookie-brownie slab out of the pan. Carefully flip it over onto a large cutting board. Gently peel away the foil. Next, line the now-empty baking sheet with plastic wrap.
  7. Cut and Assemble: Use a long, serrated knife (running it under warm water helps) to trim the rough edges of the slab, creating a neat rectangle. Cut the rectangle in half crosswise, separating the brownie half from the cookie half. Place the giant cookie piece on the plastic-wrap-lined baking sheet with the Oreo-side facing up.
  8. Add the Ice Cream: Working quickly to prevent melting, spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cookie slab, all the way to the edges. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  9. Top and Final Freeze: Place the brownie slab on top of the ice cream, with the vanilla cookie side facing down. Gently press to adhere the layers. Fold the plastic wrap around the entire assembled block of Oreo-Stuffed Ice Cream Sandwiches to hold it together tightly. Freeze until completely hardened, at least 6 hours but preferably overnight.
  10. Slice and Serve: Once solid, use a large, warm, serrated knife to cut the giant block into 24 individual Oreo-Stuffed Ice Cream Sandwiches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking sheet
  • 24 chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
  • Two 16.5-ounce packages chocolate chip cookie dough, at room temperature
  • One 18.3-ounce box brownie mix (plus required ingredients as listed on the box)
  • 24 vanilla sandwich cookies, such as Golden Oreos
  • 4 cups (1 quart) vanilla ice cream, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line an 18-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on at least two sides. Coat with cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the chocolate sandwich cookies on half of the baking sheet in 6 rows, with 4 cookies per row.
  3. Cover the chocolate sandwich cookies with the cookie dough, pressing and spreading the dough into and over the cookies to make one giant chocolate chip cookie that covers half of the baking sheet.
  4. Prepare the brownie batter according to package directions. Pour the batter into the empty half of the pan.
  5. Arrange the vanilla sandwich cookies on top of the brownie batter in 6 rows, with 4 cookies per row. Press the cookies into the batter.

  9. Line the baking sheet with plastic wrap. Using a warm serrated knife, trim the rough edges of the giant cookie to an even rectangle (about 12-by-16-inches).
  10. Cut it in half crosswise so you have one brownie half and one chocolate chip cookie half (each 8-by-12-inches).
  11. Lay the chocolate chip cookie piece on the prepared baking sheet so the chocolate sandwich cookies are facing up.
  12. Working quickly, spread the ice cream across the cookie all the way to the edges. Smooth out the top and sides.
  13. Place the brownie half, with the vanilla sandwich cookies facing down, on top of the ice cream and gently press to adhere.
  14. Fold the plastic wrap around the assembled ice cream sandwich to help hold its shape and freeze until hardened, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
  15. Use a warm serrated knife to cut into 24 ice cream sandwiches.
