These super popular Golden Oreo covered frozen Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream dessert bars found on your local ice cream truck are the perfect treat for any season!
OMG Guys!! Do you remember those Good Humor classic Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars that were super popular amongst kids AND adults back in the day. I could never get enough of them. Oftentimes, I would find myself running after the neighborhood ice cream truck like Forest Gump just to get one!!! Run Felesha Run!!!!!! 🙂
These bars are so nostalgic and tasty that they are simply irresistible!!! Growing up, I always choose strawberry desserts like cupcakes, bundt cakes, cheesecakes and even Strawberry Shortcake French Toast over chocolate, which is of course, now my present day favorite.
In fact, do you remember when Baskin Robbins (31 Flavors) used to make a Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream?!?!?!? Oh man! I was so obsessed that I even made a song out of it!!! “Strawberry Shortcake met this girl, met this girl, met this girl. Strawberry Shortcake met this girl and her name, and her name and her name was Felesha!” See! Obsessed!!! Such a silly gal I (am) was back then. Lol!!
I used Golden Oreos, vanilla ice cream, freeze dried strawberries and even made my own strawberry sorbet from scratch since it’s so tough to find. You can really get creative with this dessert and experiment with lots of different fruit flavors like blueberry, raspberry, peach, cherry, mango and even pineapple!! You might even try experimenting with the chocolate eclair one too if you enjoy chocolate as much as I do!! In fact, I think I’ll try that one next!
I had some Proverbs 18:24 girlfriends drive by to sample these Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Bars over the weekend and they all agreed that they were even more delicious than the original. I hope you’ll try these sometime soon and weigh in to let me know what you think! Say Grace and enjoy!

- Next, spread the strawberry sorbet over the vanilla ice cream layer evenly. Again, place pan in freezer for 15 minutes. Add the final layer of vanilla ice cream evenly over the sorbet.
- Sprinkle the strawberry cookie crumbs evenly over the bars. Place in the freezer for a minimum of 4 hours.
