Oreo Ice Cream Cake
When I was a kid, I remember going to the ice cream shops and peering into the cases of ice cream cakes. I had NO idea how they were made and couldn’t imagine that real people could create such a feat.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve figured out a few tricks. I am positive that I still can’t create what they did in those cases, but it is possible to make an ice cream cake at home! Even better, with a trip to the ice cream section at the grocery store, you don’t have to churn your own.
This Oreo Ice Cream Cake takes a bit of time to make, but it’s actually incredibly easy. And as a bonus, you can save yourself the trouble of having to scoop ice cream onto each plate at a party!
Oreo Ice Cream Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
White cake mix (eggs, oil and/or water typically called for)
1.5 quart Oreo ice cream
Vanilla frosting
1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9″ springform pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together your cake mix, eggs, oil and/or water until well mixed. The exact ingredients that you will need for this step will be on your cake mix box, so please follow those instructions.
Pour half of your cake batter into your greased baking pan and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Carefully remove your cake from the pan, place it on a plate, and transfer the plate to the freezer to cool for 10 minutes.
Now, grease your baking pan again, pour your remaining batter into the pan, and bake the second cake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Once done, carefully remove your second cake from the pan, place it on a plate, and transfer to the freezer to cool for 10 minutes.
Wash the pan with cool water so that you can handle it with your hands. Place your now-cooled first cake back into the bottom of the pan.
Microwave your ice cream container for one minute or until it is soft (not melted). Scoop your ice cream onto the cake in the spring form pan.
Place your now-cooled second cake on top of your ice cream in the springform pan and transfer the entire thing to the freezer for a few hours. This will allow for the ice cream to harden up and for everything to meld.
Once your ice cream has hardened, carefully open your springform pan.
Your ice cream may have dripped down inside the pan and may now be covering the bottom cake. This is to be expected!
Frost the top of the cake with vanilla icing and top it with crushed Oreo cookies. Serve immediately for best results. Enjoy!
