Oreo Ice Cream Dessert



Oreo Ice Cream Dessert is the perfect summertime treat.  Three ingredients, no-bake, and can be made ahead of time...how easy is that?


Oreo Ice Cream Dessert

1 (1.75 qt.) carton vanilla ice cream
1 (14.3 oz.) package regular Oreo cookies (not Double Stuff)
1 (8 oz.) container whipped topping, thawed

Soften ice cream in a very large bowl.  Crush entire bag of Oreo cookies using a food processor, or you could also place them in a large zipper seal bag and crush them with a rolling pin.  Reserve 1 cup of Oreo crumbs.  When ice cream has softened, stir in the remaining Oreo crumbs.  Spread in a 9x13 baker and freeze.  When frozen, spread the container of whipped topping on top, and then sprinkle with desired amount of reserved Oreo crumbs.  Freeze until ready to serve.  Allow to sit out for 5-10 minutes before serving.  Warm a knife with hot water to make cutting the dessert easier.

Meat that literally falls apart?  Delicious gravy?  Quick and simple?  This is your recipe!

Cornstarch and salt for gravy not shown.

Slow Cooker Pork Chops

6 boneless thick-cut pork center cut or thick-cut loin chops
1 (10-3/4 oz.) can condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 packet pork gravy mix
1 packet onion soup mix
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
4 tbsp. of cornstarch for the gravy
Salt to taste

Put pork chops in a 6 qt. slow cooker.  In a medium bowl, combine cream of chicken soup and packets.  Slowly add chicken broth stirring well.  Pour soup mixture over pork chops.  Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Gravy:  30 minutes before you're ready to serve, in a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp. of cornstarch with just enough cold water to make the mixture a liquid.  Remove pork chops from slow cooker, and stir in the cornstarch mixture.  Salt to taste.  Put the pork chops back in and cover until ready to serve.
