Oreo Dessert

A favorite of mine for years. This cool dessert reminds me of sunburns from grandma's pool and mustache marks from Black Cherry Shasta. Hello summer.

Oreo Dessert Crust:

6 Tbs. Butter, melted

2 cups crushed Oreo cookie crumbs

Filling:

1-2 quarts ice cream of choice

Hot fudge sauce:

1 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup light corn syrup

4 Tbs. butter

Pinch salt

8 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Topping:

Oreo cookies, roughly crushed

Crust and filling: Combine cookie crumbs and butter and press into a 9x13 pan. Soften ice cream slightly and then smooth onto cookie crumbs. Freeze for at least a few hours.

Sauce:

Bring the cream, corn syrup, butter, and salt to a boil in a small sauce pan over medium- high heat. Off the heat, stir in the chocolate, cover, and let stand until the chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes. Uncover and whist gently until smooth. Adjust the consistency by heating and stirring in additional cream as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Sauce can be poured over ice cream and frozen, or served as a warm sauce over a serving of the dessert. Top with crushed oreo cookies.
