Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches – The Easiest Frozen Treat Ever
Okay, let’s be honest—store-bought ice cream sandwiches are fine, but they never quite hit the spot. They either melt too fast, have way too much cookie (seriously, why is it always so thick?), or just don’t taste homemade. Enter: Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches.
These bad boys are fudgy, creamy, and dangerously easy to make. It’s Oreos, peanut butter, and ice cream—aka the holy trinity of desserts. No baking, no fancy kitchen gadgets, and no waiting hours for something to freeze. Just mix, assemble, and devour.
Let’s make it happen.
Why These Are a Must-Try Dessert
- Only 3 main ingredients – You probably have them already.
- No baking, no hassle – Because who wants to turn on the oven when ice cream is involved?
- Customizable AF – Pick your favorite ice cream flavor, add toppings, and make it your own.

- Make-ahead friendly – Freeze a batch and have an instant dessert ready anytime.
What You’ll Need
📌 For the sandwiches:
- 24 Oreo cookies (Double Stuf works too!)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream (or any flavor you love)
📌 For optional extras (because why not?):
- ½ cup melted chocolate (for dipping)
- ¼ cup chopped nuts or sprinkles (for rolling)
How to Make Peanut Butter Oreo Ice Cream Sandwiches
Step 1: Prep the Oreos
- Twist open each Oreo, because we’re about to upgrade them.
- Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on the inside of each cookie half. (Not too much, unless you want a peanut butter explosion.)
Step 2: Ice Cream Time
- Let the ice cream sit for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Scoop about a tablespoon of ice cream onto one Oreo half.
- Gently press the other half on top to make a sandwich.
Step 3: Freeze for Stability
- Place the sandwiches on a tray and freeze for at least 30 minutes so they hold together. (Yes, this is the hardest part—waiting.)
Step 4: Get Fancy (Optional, But Highly Recommended)
- Melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between.
- Dip each sandwich halfway into the chocolate, then roll the edges in nuts, sprinkles, or crushed Oreos for extra flair.
- Pop them back in the freezer for another 10 minutes to set.
Step 5: Enjoy the Best Ice Cream Sandwich of Your Life
- Take a bite and prepare for pure dessert bliss.
Ways to Switch It Up
🔥 Switch the ice cream flavor – Chocolate, peanut butter swirl, or cookies & cream? Yes, yes, and yes.
🔥 Use flavored Oreos – Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, or even Peanut Butter Oreos will take this to another level.
🔥 Go nutty – Swap peanut butter for almond butter, Nutella, or even cookie butter.
🔥 Make them extra crunchy – Roll the edges in crushed peanuts or mini M&Ms.
🔥 Bigger & better? – Stack two Oreo sandwiches together for a double-decker situation.
Honestly, there’s no wrong way to do this.
FAQs – Because You Need to Know
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! Store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. (But good luck making them last that long.)
2. Do I have to freeze them before eating?
Technically no, but the ice cream will squish out everywhere if they’re too soft. Give them at least 30 minutes to firm up.
3. What’s the best way to soften ice cream quickly?
Let it sit at room temp for 5-10 minutes, or microwave it for 10 seconds (not more, or it’ll melt too much).
4. Can I make these dairy-free?
Yep! Just use dairy-free ice cream and cookies. Oreos are already vegan!
5. How do I stop them from sticking together in the freezer?
Place them on a parchment-lined tray before freezing, or store them with parchment paper in between.
6. What if I don’t like peanut butter?
First of all, who hurt you? But also, just swap it for Nutella, Biscoff spread, or leave it out entirely.
