Make this simple, layered ice cream cake using Oreos and your favorite ice cream. It requires no oven time and sets up perfectly in the freezer for a great celebration dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14.3 ounce) package Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened slightly
  • 1.5 quarts chocolate ice cream, softened slightly
  • 1 cup fudge topping, warmed slightly
  • 1 cup whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/4 cup crushed Oreo cookies for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. Place the entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.
  3. Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and pulse until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  4. Press the Oreo crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes to set.
  5. Remove the pan from the freezer. Spread the slightly softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the crust layer. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.
  6. Return the pan to the freezer for at least 1 hour, or until the vanilla layer is firm.
  7. Once the vanilla layer is firm, spread the slightly softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the top.
  8. Drizzle the warmed fudge topping over the chocolate ice cream layer. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the fudge into the chocolate ice cream.
  9. Freeze the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until completely firm.
  10. Before serving, remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing.
  11. Carefully release the springform side. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped topping.
  12. Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreo cookies over the top for decoration. Slice and serve this crowd pleasing sweet immediately.

Notes

  • For cleaner slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it dry between each cut.
  • You can substitute any two ice cream flavors you prefer for a custom layered ice cream dessert.
  • If you do not have a springform pan, line a standard 9-inch round cake pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on the sides to lift the cake out later.
