For the Crust
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 2 tbsp melted butter
For the Ice Cream Layer
- 2 ½ cups slightly soft vanilla ice cream
For the Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup milk divided
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2 ½ tbsp cocoa powder
For the Whipped Cream Layer
- 1 ½ cups whipping cream
- ½ tsp powdered sugar
- 2 oreos
To make the crust, blitz the Oreos in a food processor until you have a light sand. Add the butter and blitz until it is like rubble. Press into the bottom of a roughly 10” x 6” dish and use the bottom of a measuring cup to make sure it is smooth and well compacted.
Spoon over the semi-melted ice cream and use a spatula to smooth it into a single layer. Place in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up again.
To make the chocolate pudding, whisk together the egg yolk and cornflour, adding splashes of 1/4 cup milk to keep the mixture smooth. Stir together the sugar, cocoa and remaining 3/4 cups of milk in a small saucepan. Heat until just boiling, then remove from the stove. Whisking constantly, trickle in the egg yolk mixture, then return the pudding to a medium heat. Simmer, whisking often, until the mixture has figured to a thick but still pourable pudding. Leave it to cool for 10 minutes, whisking often to help cool it down and to prevent a skin from forming.
Pour the slightly cooled pudding over the ice cream layer, smooth the top, then freeze for a further 1 hour 30 minutes.
Lightly whip the cream and the powdered sugar together until it only just holds it’s shape. Smooth it over the frozen chocolate pudding layer. Crumble the 2 remaining Oreos over the top. Freeze for a final 4 hours, or overnight.
Take the dessert out of the freezer to thaw for 1hour before slicing to get clean slices. Leave the slices to stand for a further 10-15 minutes before serving.
- This dessert will keep well in the freezer for up to a month.
- Peppermint or strawberry ice cream will work well in place of the vanilla.
