Following this Oreo ice cream cake recipe is as easy as picking up a cake at the store. I love how simple ice cream cakes<\/a> are! Crumbled cookies laced with melted butter make an almost-instant crust for any flavor of ice cream. It’s a no-bake dessert<\/a>, so there’s no need to heat up the house before a summer party. We’ll show you how to make a homemade Oreo ice cream cake, plus lend plenty of ideas for you to make the recipe your own.<\/p>\n
In a large bowl, combine 3 cups cookie crumbs and the butter.<\/p>\n
Editor’s Tip:\u00a0<\/em>To make the Oreo crumbs, put the cookies in a large zip-top bag, seal the bag and crush the cookies with a rolling pin.<\/p>\n
Press into a greased 13×9-inch dish.<\/p>\n
Spread the ice cream over the Oreo crust. If it’s tough to spread out, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes until it softens.<\/p>\n
Cover and freeze until set.<\/p>\n
Drizzle the fudge topping over the ice cream. Cover and freeze again until set.<\/p>\n
Spread the whipped topping over the top, then sprinkle the whipped topping with the remaining cookie crumbs.<\/p>\n
Cover and freeze for two hours or until firm.<\/p>\n
Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to allow the cake to soften for easy slicing (and eating).<\/p>\n
Leftover Oreo cookie ice cream cake keeps very well. Stash the cake in the freezer, ideally covered with a layer of foil or storage wrap. Stick a few toothpicks into the top of the cake to keep the foil held above the surface of the cake so it won’t smudge.<\/p>\n
Since homemade Oreo ice cream cake is stored in the freezer, it will last longer than regular cake. That said, the cake tastes best when eaten within the first seven days. After that, ice crystals may form on the cake or the cookie filling may dry out. If the texture is less than ideal, serve the leftover cake with an extra-generous dollop of whipped cream.<\/p>\n
The best way to keep an ice cream cake from melting is to freeze it throughout the assembly process. After every step, or any time the cake looks like it’s softening, pop it in the freezer to help keep it solid.<\/p>\n
The other big risk of melting comes when you travel. If you need to transport the Oreo cookie ice cream cake, pack it into an insulated cooler along with several ice packs.<\/p>\n
No, this cake will melt in the fridge. Keep Oreo ice cream cake in the freezer. Take it out about 10 minutes before serving and let it stand at room temperature to soften a bit for easy slicing.<\/p>\n
Use a sharp knife to slice a homemade Oreo ice cream cake. Between each slice, rinse the knife under hot water for the cleanest cuts.<\/p>\n
This Oreo ice cream cake recipe may just be the ultimate party cake, so serve it alongside other classic party food<\/a>, like pizza or barbecue. We also love this cake around the holidays\u2014serve it as part of a Christmas dessert spread<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
