🛒 Ingredients

For the Ice Cream Layers:

For the Shortcake Crumble Coating:

  • 12 Golden Oreos (or vanilla sandwich cookies)
  • 1 tbsp freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry Jell-O powder
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Optional:

  • Fresh strawberries for garnish
  • White chocolate drizzle for extra flair

👩‍🍳 How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars

1. Prepare a Pan

Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.

2. Layer the Ice Cream

  • Spread the vanilla ice cream into an even layer on the bottom. Freeze for 15–20 minutes.
  • Spread the strawberry ice cream on top of the vanilla layer. Smooth the top and freeze until solid (at least 4 hours or overnight).

3. Make the Crumble Coating

  • Pulse Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries (or strawberry Jell-O) in a food processor until crumbly.
  • Stir in melted butter until combined. Set aside.

4. Cut & Coat the Bars

  • Lift the ice cream block from the pan and cut into bars.
  • Gently press the crumble mixture onto all sides of each bar.
  • Freeze again for 15–30 minutes to set.

5. Serve & Enjoy!

Serve straight from the freezer and enjoy the nostalgic crunch and creamy flavor!

🧊 Storage Tips

  • Store bars in an airtight container in the freezer
  • Use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking
  • Best enjoyed within 2–3 weeks for optimal texture and flavor

🔁 Variations & Customizations

  • Swap vanilla ice cream for cheesecake-flavored
  • Use raspberry sorbet or mango for a tropical twist
  • Coat in white chocolate chips or drizzle with melted white chocolate
  • Add a layer of crushed strawberries or jam between the layers

❓ FAQ – Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars

Q: Can I use different cookies for the crumble?
A: Yes! Any vanilla-based cookie works well — like shortbread, butter cookies, or graham crackers.

Q: What’s the best way to soften the ice cream?
A: Let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes or microwave for 10–15 seconds (just until spreadable).

Q: Can I make this dairy-free?
A: Absolutely! Use dairy-free ice cream and plant-based butter for the crumble.

Q: Do I need freeze-dried strawberries?
A: They give the best flavor and texture, but strawberry gelatin powder (Jell-O) is a good backup.

🍓 Conclusion

These Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars are a nostalgic treat with a homemade twist — creamy, fruity, crunchy, and totally addictive. Whether you're recreating childhood memories or treating your family to a refreshing dessert, these bars are the perfect summer sweet!
