Ice cream. It's my favorite dessert thing in the world. Well that and chocolate. But this ice cream has chocolate in it so I mean, it really can't get any better than that.
When I was younger I lived for the filling of Oreos. I'd eat the whole cookie but in a very specific way. First I twisted the top off with proper care. Then I swiped my finger across the sweet sugary cream and kept it on my finger while I ate the other cookie. Finally, the moment I was waiting for; time to eat the creamy icing. Mmmm. My freakin' favorite. Always. And when double stuffed Oreos became a thing, don't even get me started.
So this love for Oreos extended into my adult life and my vegan life, #blessed. And I figured that I needed to do us all a service and combine my two favorite desserts (ice cream and chocolate) with my favorite childhood (store bought) cookies. Oh, and some girl scout Thin Mints too because, well it just seemed necessary!
