Description
Inspired by the Dairy Queen classic, this layered Buster Bar Dessert combines a crunchy Oreo cookie crust with creamy vanilla ice cream, toasted peanuts, and rich hot fudge for the ultimate frozen treat that’s easy to assemble and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 package Oreo cookies (about 36), crushed
- ½ cup melted butter
Filling and Toppings
- ½ gallon vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1 cup dry-roasted peanuts
- 1 jar (12 oz) hot-fudge topping
- Whipped topping, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix the crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form the crust layer.
- Freeze crust: Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes to set the crust firmly.
- Add ice cream layer: Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Sprinkle peanuts: Evenly distribute the dry-roasted peanuts over the ice cream layer to add crunch and flavor.
- Apply fudge topping: Warm the hot fudge sauce slightly until pourable, then drizzle or pour it evenly over the peanuts layer.
- Freeze dessert: Return the assembled dessert to the freezer and freeze until firm, about 4 hours.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, top the dessert with whipped topping as a garnish for added creaminess and presentation.
Notes
- Soften ice cream just enough to spread easily but do not let it melt to keep layers intact.
- This dessert keeps well frozen for up to 1 week when wrapped properly to avoid freezer burn.
