This Pistachio Oreo Ice Cream Dessert is a rich and creamy treat combining the iconic crunch of Double-Stuffed Oreo cookies with smooth vanilla ice cream and instant pistachio pudding. Layered over a buttery Oreo crust and topped with more cookie crumbs, hot fudge, and whipped cream, it makes a perfect no-bake dessert that’s easy to prepare and sure to delight at any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust Ingredients

  • 1 package (15.35 ounces) Double-Stuffed Oreo cookies
  • 1 ½ cups salted butter, melted

Ice Cream Mixture

  • 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
  • 2 packages (3.4 ounces each) instant pistachio pudding mix

Toppings

  • Hot fudge, as desired
  • Whipped cream, as desired

Instructions

  1. Soften the Ice Cream: Set the vanilla ice cream out on the counter to soften while preparing the Oreo crust, making it easier to mix in later.
  2. Crush the Oreos: Place all the Oreo cookies into a large zip-lock bag and seal it. Using a rolling pin, crush the cookies to create small chunks and crumbs, ensuring they remain chunky rather than finely ground.
  3. Reserve Topping Crumbs: Set aside one-third of the crushed Oreo crumbs to be used later as a topping for the dessert.
  4. Prepare the Crust: Pour the remaining cookie crumbs into a 9×13-inch baking pan. Add the melted salted butter over the crumbs and mix thoroughly to combine. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan to form an even crust layer.
  5. Mix Ice Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened vanilla ice cream and thawed Cool Whip. Whisk or stir until the two are fully blended together.
  6. Add Pistachio Pudding: Stir in the two packages of instant pistachio pudding mix to the ice cream mixture, whisking until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  7. Assemble the Dessert: Spread the pistachio ice cream mixture evenly over the prepared Oreo cookie crust in the pan. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs evenly on top and press down lightly to adhere.
  8. Freeze: Cover the pan and freeze the dessert for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow it to set properly.
  9. Serve: Remove the dessert from the freezer 20 minutes before cutting to soften slightly. Cut into squares and top each serving with hot fudge and whipped cream if desired. Enjoy your decadent Pistachio Oreo Ice Cream Dessert!

Notes

  • For best texture, allow the ice cream to soften sufficiently so it mixes smoothly with the Cool Whip and pudding mix.
  • You can substitute regular Oreos if Double-Stuffed are not available, but texture may vary slightly.
  • Make sure the melted butter is not too hot when mixing with cookie crumbs to avoid melting the crust prematurely.
  • This dessert works well as a make-ahead treat since it requires a minimum freezing time of 6 hours or overnight.
  • If you want a firmer crust, you can chill the pressed crust in the freezer for 10 minutes before adding the ice cream mixture.
