What You’ll Need:
Step-by-Step Recipe:
Prepare the Cookie Layer
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie mix, butter, and egg. Stir until the dough forms and then press it evenly into a parchment-lined pan, making sure the parchment goes up the sides of the pan (this is important for the ice cream later on). Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely, then pop it in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
Make the Ice Cream
While the cookie layer is chilling, whip up the ice cream! Add 1 cups of half & half and the True Scoops ice cream mix to a bowl and mix on high for 5 minutes with an electric mixer (or use a Kitchen Aid mixer with the whisk attachment). Freeze for at least 1 hours or until the ice cream is soft set.
Assemble
Keeping the cookie base in the pan, scoop the soft ice cream onto the cookie base and spread in an even layer with an offset spatula. Sprinkle the dessert crumbs on top and freeze immediately until the ice cream is firm, at least 1 hour.
Slice and Serve
Using a sharp knife, carefully slice your layered masterpiece into bars. Voilà—perfectly layered ice cream cookie bars that are bound to wow everyone at the dessert table!
