Mini Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich Sundae Recipe

Oreo cookies are a staple in our house almost year around.  When I was considering a food that began with the letter O for my first Blogging from A to Z challenge many years ago, my middle little one immediately thought of Oreos. Mmmmmm...Oreo cookies.  I am not a cookie and sweets fan--but,  I love chocolate and chocolate cake--and Oreos.  What could I do with Oreos that is something different and easy that both the kids and I will love?  I think I hit the nail on the head with our Mini Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich Sundaes.  These make a fun cooking with kids project!  These cookie "sundaes" are ready in minutes and are so much fun for the kids to make and eat!  Oh--and they are perfect for National Oreo Day too!



Ingredients for Mini Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich Sundaes
Oreo Cookies
Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, slightly softened (I Use Velvet Cookies 'n Cream)
Whipped Cream
Chocolate Syrup (I use 365 Everyday Organic or Hershey's)
Maraschino Cherries

Instructions for Mini Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich Sundaes
Prepare the Oreo Cookies.  Carefully separate each Oreo into two halves.  Make sure that the cream filling is removed from each sandwich cookie.  (It was hard to convince the girls to scrape the cookies with a knife and not their tongues!)

Fill each Oreo Ice Cream Sandwich with Ice Cream.  Place a tablespoon of ice cream into the center of a cookie half.  Form it so that it is rounded nicely to fit the round cookie shape.  Place a second cookie half on top of the ice cream and press down lightly to create an easy ice cream sandwich.

Add whipped cream.  Swirl whipped cream onto the top of each Oreo ice cream sandwich.

Garnish the "sundae" appearance serve.  Drizzle with chocolate syrup and add a maraschino cherry (or 1/4 of a jumbo maraschino cherry as we did here).  Serve immediately with lots of napkins!

These are quick, easy, and huge hits with chocolate/ Oreo lovers--and allow you to serve small, servings of a fun, kid friendly dessert. We make these so often during the summer--but, there is no reason not to make them year-around when the ingredients are probably frequently on hand!

We also love to make these Triple Chocolate Fudge Oreo Cupcakes for almost every birthday in our little corner of the world--just in case you need a slightly different idea for National Oreo Day!

We originally shared this recipe in 2012 during one of our very early Blogging from A to Z challenges!  We still make these quite often--but, have never updated our photos!  We decided it was time to update the post with our current favorite ingredients--and hope to have a new photo soon!
