Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bars

Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Bars are a cool and creamy way to celebrate summer and are super easy to make. A thick Oreo crust on the bottom is covered with a layer of cookies and cream ice cream with extra cookies added to up the cookie to ice cream ratio.

Because I’m perfectly OK with the ice cream merely acting as a binder to hold the cookies together!

Homemade whipped cream is slathered on the top to make this dessert even creamier.

Of coarse you could use Cool Whip instead to shorten the prep time.
