- 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
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.
