Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 20 oz Oreo cookies, divided
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 container 1.5 quarts orange sherbet
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Halloween sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Reserve one-third of the sandwich cookies. Crush the rest and mix with melted butter.
  • Press the crumbs into a 9 × 13-inch pan and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Soften the orange sherbet just enough to spread, then smooth it over the crust. Return the pan to the freezer.
  • Whip the cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until it holds peaks. Spread this over the sherbet.
  • Roughly chop the reserved cookies and scatter them on top with the sprinkles. Cover and freeze for 2–3 hours, or until firm.
  • Before cutting, allow a brief softening period of about 5–10 minutes. Serve the slices promptly.
