๐Ÿ“ Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars offer a refreshing and creamy dessert with fresh berry swirls and a crunchy cookie crust.
๐Ÿฆ This homemade treat combines luscious layers for a delightful summer snack or sweet ending to any meal.

  • Total Time: 9 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 9 to 12 bars

Ingredients

– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled

– 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen whole or sliced strawberries

– 1 (about 13-ounce) package vanilla sandwich cookies (about 33 cookies)

– 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt divided

– 1 cup cold heavy cream

– 1/2 cup strawberry jam or preserves

– 1 cup cold heavy cream

– 1/2 cup strawberry jam

– Vanilla sandwich cookies

Instructions

1-Allow the frozen strawberries to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to partially thaw. Line an 8ร—8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting it overhang the sides.

2-Process the vanilla sandwich cookies with 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt until they form fine crumbs. Add the melted butter and mix until combined, either by pulsing in a food processor or smashing in a zip-top bag.

3-Press half of the cookie mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, ensuring it covers the edges and corners. Reserve the remaining crumbs in a bowl.

4-Pulse the strawberries in a food processor until they reach pea-sized pieces.

5-Whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold in the pulsed strawberries, strawberry jam, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt until well combined.

6-Pour the strawberry cream mixture over the cookie crust and spread it evenly. Freeze until firm but not completely solid, about 3 hours.

7-Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs over the strawberry layer and gently press them into the surface.

8-Cover and freeze until fully firm, at least 6 hours or overnight. Once frozen, lift the slab out using the parchment paper and cut into 9 to 12 bars.
