My DIY OREO Ice Cream Sandwich

 

Carl's Jnr, a popular burger franchise chain in America  has recently launched an Oreo ice cream cookie sandwich to their dessert menu. A scoop of their in-house made ice-cream is placed between 2 large Oreo wafers which are 3 inches in diameter compared to the regular 1.75 inch cookie we all know.
I'm quite fond of the cookie which I mostly consume as a malt milkshake in Eddie Rockets.
Here are some interesting facts about the Oreos:

• The Oreo Cookie has been around since 1912 and is the best selling cookie of the 20th century.
• Origin of the name is still a mystery, One belief of how it got its name is from the shape of a hill-shaped test version of the cookie and so named it Oreo which in Greek means mountain. Another possibility was the cookie's name was taken from the French word for gold, "or" and this was the colour of the packaging in earlier days. Another plausible reason for the name is the combination of  "re" from "cream" and placing it between the two "o"s in "chocolate" thus making it "o-re-o."Or some believe it was so named because Oreo was simple and short to pronounce.
• There are many different variations of cookie like lemon filled Oreo, Oreo wafer sticks, sugar free Oreo,Oreo cakesters and many more.

To make your own Oreo ice cream sandwich you will need;
-Oreo cookies
-Vanilla Ice cream

1. Gently seperate the cookie  halves.
2. Using a knife, scrape the cream filling from each cookie.
3. Place a tablespoon of ice cream on one cookie half and put the other layer on top.

Et voila! Simple and delish!
