Ice Cream Cake with Oreo Crust

A nostalgic, crowd-pleasing dessert with layers of chocolate and strawberry ice cream atop a crunchy Oreo crust, perfect for any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 quarts chocolate ice cream, softened
  • 1 cup homemade or store-bought hot fudge, divided
  • 1.5 quarts strawberry ice cream, softened
  • 2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Make the Oreo crust by crushing the Oreo cookies and mixing with melted butter. Set aside.
  2. Line a 9×3-inch springform pan with plastic wrap and spread softened chocolate ice cream evenly across the bottom. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  3. Pour 1/2 cup of hot fudge over the chocolate layer, then sprinkle the Oreo mixture on top. Freeze for another 30 minutes.
  4. Spread the softened strawberry ice cream over the Oreo layer and freeze the cake for at least 720 minutes.
  5. When ready to serve, beat cold heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  6. Remove the cake from the pan, frost with whipped cream, and optionally decorate with sprinkles.
  7. Slice and serve immediately or freeze for up to 60 minutes to firm up before serving.

Notes

Soften the ice cream just until spreadable to avoid melting. Cover the cake tightly to store in the freezer for up to 1 month.
