Ingredients
Scale
1.5 quarts strawberry ice cream, softened
1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
24 Golden Oreos
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup whipped topping (optional, for garnish)
Fresh strawberries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or plastic wrap, leaving overhang for easy removal.
Spread the softened strawberry ice cream evenly in the bottom of the dish. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the strawberry layer. Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
Meanwhile, prepare the crunch topping by pulsing the Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries in a food processor until crumbly.
Transfer to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until well combined.
Sprinkle the crunch mixture evenly over the frozen cake, gently pressing it in. Freeze again for at least 1 hour or until ready to serve.
Lift the cake out of the pan, slice, and serve with whipped topping and fresh strawberries if desired.
Notes
For cleaner slices, dip your knife in hot water before cutting.
You can substitute other ice cream flavors for a custom twist.
