Dirty Ice Cream
OREO cookies, ice cream, and mint. What more could you
want?
1 package oreo cookies
1/2 gallon ice cream
1/3 cup green creme de menthe
Pam non-stick cooking spray
Finely grind the OREO cookies in a food processor to make
the dirt.
Spray a 9 X 13 inch baking dish VERY lightly with the
non-stick cooking spray. Wipe excess out with a paper
towel.
Put 1/2 or a little more of the ground OREO cookies in the
baking dish. Take a glass with a flat bottom and
compact the ground OREO cookies. Or compact the dirt
with your fingers.
Put the vanilla ice cream in a large bowl. WIth a
knife, cut the ice cream into four to eight cubes. Add
a GENEROUS 1/3 cup of Creme de Menthe. Using a potato
masher, mash the ice cream to blend the Creme de
Menthe. Do not let the ice cream completely melt to a
liquid. The ice cream should remain mushy.
Using a spatula, spread the green ice cream over the dirt in
the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining dirt on top of
the ice cream. Cover with Saran Wrap, and put in the
freezer for 24 hours.
If you are concerned about the alcohol in the creme de
menthe, you can buy a creme de menthe flavored ice cream
topping in the ice creaam section that contains no
alcohol. You have to use almost the whole bottle to
get enough of the mint flavor. In my opinion, the
creme de menthe tastes MUCH better.
This makes a great dessert for company that you can prepare
the day before.
