I am just going to admit this right now, I am a bit obsessed with these Creamy and Crunchy  Oreo Ice Cream Bites.  These little desserts are dangerously addicting especially when made with your favorite ice cream and toppings.

What I love about these ice cream bites

  • Looking for a unique dessert to serve at parties, this is it? These ice cream bites are such a tasty treat and they are not your usual dessert. Everyone will think you spent hours creating these divine little bites because they look so fancy. Set these out on a platter and watch them disappear.  No plates, forks or spoons required to eat this dessert.  You know what them means…no dishes!
  • The best part of these little creamy, crunchy bites is you can make these with different flavors of ice creams and then add different toppings to make them festive and even more delicious.
  • Got kids, this is a great dessert for them to help make.  Kids love scooping and dipping the ice cream in the chocolate.
  • Make a batch of these ice cream bites and keep in the freezer for when you want a dessert.

These babies gotta go in the freezer so make some room for them. The first time I made these I didn’t think ahead and had no room in the freezer so I had to put the ice cream bites on top of bags of frozen corn and a frozen pizza box.  It worked but a tray would have been a much better idea.

How to make a chocolate shell

Everyone asks how I get that hard shell chocolate topping.  It’s like the Hershey’s Magic Shell, and you can definitely use that, but because I think I have to make everything from scratch I’m going to give you my super-secret recipe for the chocolate coating.

The chocolate coating is made with just two ingredients, chocolate, and coconut oil.  The coconut oil is what makes the chocolate hard. Just melt the chocolate and coconut oil together, stir really well and you have a chocolate coating, it really is like magic.    If you have extra chocolate after dipping the bites pour it in an ice cube tray and freeze it.   Just remelt in the microwave for a few seconds.  Coconut oil has so many uses other uses for it, so this jar won’t go to waste.

You need a few kitchen tools to make the little scoops nice and neat, a small ice cream scoop, mine is a one tablespoon scoop, 18/8.  Use a bench scraper or a wide flat knife, to flatten out the ice cream and pack it down in the scoop which will make it nice and smooth on the bottom.

Oreo cookies with chocolate and mint ice cream scoops on top

Are you feeling creative, here is your chance to mix and match ice cream flavors and toppings.  My choices today are chocolate and mint ice cream and my toppings are grated chocolate, cocoa nibs, and sprinkles.  This is a good time to dig deep in your pantry to find something to put on top.

Need some suggestions for toppings

  • chopped nuts
  • graham cracker crumbs
  • coconut
  • crushed Heath bar
  • finely chopped ginger
  • sea salt flakes

How to make ice cream bites

  1. Choose your ice cream flavor or mix and match flavors
  2. Choose your Oreo cookie – I use Chocolate and Golden Oreos
  3. Make room in your freezer for the ice cream bites
  4. Using a small cookie scoop, make a nice clean scoop making sure the bottom is smooth and put on top of the cookie
  5. Place the cookie in the freezer on a tray  and freeze until firm- I do five cookies at a time
  6. Make the chocolate coating with dark chocolate and coconut oil
  7. Dip the cookie with the frozen ice cream into the chocolate
  8. Top with all your delicious toppings
  9. Refreeze the ice cream bites and then serve

Equipment

  • Ice Cream Scoop
  • Bench Scraper

Ingredients

  • 12 Oreo cookies
  • 1 quart Ice Cream, your favorite flavors
  • 12 oz. dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil
  • toppings of your choice - nuts, crushed cookies, sprinkles, graham cracker crumbs

Instructions

Making the Oreo Ice Cream Bites

  • For this recipe, I am using 12 Oreo cookies. You can use as many Oreos as you want, make sure to have enough ice cream on hand.
  • Have a tray ready in the freezer to put the ice cream bites on.
  • Using the ice cream scoop, make a big scoop of ice cream and then scrape off the excess with a bench scraper or a flat knife, making sure the ice cream is packed in the scoop. You want the bottom to be flat so it sits on the Oreo.
  • Place the scoop of ice cream on an Oreo.  I usually do five at a time them place these on the tray in the freezer.
  • Freeze the ice cream bites until firm.

Chocolate Coating

  • Place the coconut oil and chopped chocolate in a bowl and heat in the microwave at 20-second intervals, until the chocolate is melted.  Stir until the chocolate coating is smooth then let cool.

Dipping the Ice Cream Bites in Chocolate

  • Make sure the chocolate coating is in a deep enough bowl to dip the ice cream bites.
  • Dip the ice cream bite into the chocolate coating, making sure to coat the ice cream ball and the top part of the Oreo.  This seals the ice cream and Oreo together.
  • Sprinkle on your choice of toppings.  I have found it best to sprinkle on the topping instead of dipping the ice cream bite in the topping.  
  • Place the ice cream bites back in the freezer, and freeze until firm
  • Store in a freezer container for one month.

Notes

Be creative with these ice cream bites with ice cream and cookie flavors.  There are so many options for the toppings from sprinkles, nuts, coconut, Oreo crumbs, toffee, grated chocolate and more.

I usually plan for two or three bites per person and I guarantee these won’t last long. Have fun and be creative.  There are countless combinations and all will be yummy.

Let’s go shopping  – you will need an ice cream scoop, a bench scraper, chocolate, and coconut oil. The great thing about all these items is they have other uses in your kitchen.  I use coconut oil to fry with, the ice cream scoop is perfect to scoop cookies and the bench scraper comes in handy for cutting bar cookies.  As for the chocolate…you know what to do with that!

    These are adorable! and I’m excited to try making the magic shell from scratch. It’s been years since we’ve had the store-bought kind, and I’d much rather make my own. Thanks for sharing how to do it.

    This dessert is so versatile, and what a great idea for kids to get into. And nice tip about the freezer, I always try to make place AFTER I need to get something into the freezer. Bad planner, much. But this looks so delicious!

    What a delightful recipe – what’s not to love? Great tip on adding coconut oil to chocolate when you melt it. I didn’t know this was to make the chocolate go hard!
