Ingredients
2 cups vanilla ice cream softened
12 Golden Oreo cookies cream removed
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1 can sweetened condensed milk optional
1 cup heavy whipping cream optional
Instructions
1. Place Golden Oreo cookies and freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form
2. Add melted butter to the crumb mixture and pulse again briefly to combine then set aside
3. Scoop softened vanilla ice cream into round balls and place them on a parchment lined tray
4. Freeze scoops for about 30 minutes until firm
5. Roll each scoop in the strawberry crunch mixture pressing crumbs gently so they stick
6. Return coated scoops to the tray and freeze another 30 minutes
7. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes before serving for the best creamy texture
Notes
Freeze the tray before placing the scoops so the ice cream keeps its shape while coating
If freeze dried strawberries are unavailable you can use strawberry gelatin powder for similar flavor and color
Store scoops in an airtight container with parchment between layers to prevent sticking
