Ingredients

  • 22 dark oreo cookie halves (without the cream)
  • 80 g butter (melted)
  • 2 litre hokey pokey or vanilla ice cream
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cup lemon curd (see Lemon Curd video link above)
  • 250 ml heavy cream

Instructions

  • Blitz the Oreo cookies in the food processor until fine. Pour melted butter over the Oreo crumbs and mix well. Texture should be like fine sand.
  • Pour out the Oreo crumbs into a spring form pan and spread evenly as a base. Use a small glass or a spoon to press it down especially around the sides, until it is tight and nicely compact. Freeze for 30 min.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the ice cream quickly just to soften. Poke holes in the Oreo base with a wooden skewer (this helps to hold the ice cream better) and layer in the ice cream evenly. Freeze for an hour.
  • Once the ice cream is frozen, layer on the lemon curd and spread evenly and quickly. Freeze to set for 30 min whilst whipping up the heavy cream.
  • In a cold bowl, whisk the heavy cream until stiff peaks. Working quickly, spread the whipped cream evenly over the lemon curd and smoothen out. Freeze for 3-4 hours and it's ready!
  • Hull strawberries flat and decorate (swiftly!) with tips facing up before serving. Enjoy!
