Opt for peanut butter Oreos and replace the cream cheese filling with this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-peanut-butter-frosting\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chocolate-peanut-butter-frosting\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener noreferrer\">chocolate peanut butter buttercream<\/a>, or snag a box of mint Oreos and add 1 teaspoon mint extract to the ganache and frosting recipes.

Remove and let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving for the best taste. One trick for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-store-cake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-store-cake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">storing cake<\/a> is to put one or two slices on the lid of an airtight container and then snap the bottom on top so you&#8217;re not flopping cake into a deep dish.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does cookies and cream cake last?<\/h3>\n<p>Cookies and cream cake will stay fresh for up to five days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze cookies and cream cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes!

Unfrosted cake layers should be wrapped tightly in storage wrap or stored in an airtight food storage container and enjoyed within two months. Defrost the cake layers at room temperature before decorating.<\/p>\n<p>To freeze a frosted cake, place the cake, uncovered, in the freezer for one hour. Then, once the ganache is firm, wrap the cake in storage wrap and return it to the freezer. Enjoy the cake within two months for the best taste. A frozen cookie and cream cake may be thawed in the fridge overnight or on the counter for an hour or two.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make cookies and cream cake ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>If you need to break up the prep for this impressive cookies and cream cake recipe, you can prep the ganache, frosting and cake layers ahead. The cakes may be baked, cooled, wrapped in storage wrap and stored at room temperature up to two days in advance. (They may also be frozen for up to two months.)<\/p>\n<p>The Oreo cream cheese frosting and chocolate ganache may be prepared as directed, stored in airtight containers and refrigerated for up to a week. Both may also be stored in the freezer for up to two months. Before spreading the ganache, let it soften slightly at room temperature. You can also soften the ganache in a double boiler.<\/p>\n<h2>Cookies and Cream Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2114705\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Cookies-and-Cream-Cake_TOHD24_278368_SarahTramonte_10.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Slices of a layered chocolate cake with swirled frosting are placed on white and black plates.

If <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/layer-cake-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/layer-cake-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener noreferrer\">layer cakes<\/a> aren&#8217;t your thing, this cookies and cream cake may be baked in a 13&#215;9-inch pan instead. To do this, reduce the ingredients by 1\/3 to make just the right amount of batter to fill the pan. Alternatively, you may keep the ingredient amounts as-is and use the extra batter to bake approximately 12 standard-size cookies and cream cupcakes. We prefer this route since it eliminates the need to divide the eggs.

The toothpick test will be your best friend. Alternatively, you may also use an instant-read thermometer to test the internal temperature of your cake layers. A temperature reading of around 210\u00b0 is the sweet spot for a perfectly baked cake.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with cookies and cream cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Serve this cookies and cream cake with a scoop of your favorite ice cream, whether it&#8217;s your favorite store-bought <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/we-taste-tested-10-common-chocolate-ice-cream-brands-to-find-the-best\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/we-taste-tested-10-common-chocolate-ice-cream-brands-to-find-the-best\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chocolate ice cream brand<\/a> or homemade ice cream.
