Description

A delicious frozen dessert layered with crushed Oreos, creamy ice cream, rich chocolate fudge, and peanuts, inspired by the Dairy Queen classic.


Ingredients

  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups salted peanuts
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, mix crushed Oreos with melted butter and press into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  2. Spread softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the crust. Sprinkle peanuts over the ice cream layer and return to freezer for 30 minutes.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine chocolate chips, evaporated milk, powdered sugar, and butter. Stir continuously until smooth and thickened, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let cool to room temperature.
  4. Pour cooled chocolate fudge over the peanut layer and spread evenly. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
  5. Cut into bars and serve frozen.

Notes

  • You can substitute other types of nuts if desired.
  • Use a springform pan for a round presentation.
  • Let the fudge cool completely before pouring to avoid melting the ice cream.
