Ingredients for Oreo Ice Cream Cake

Cookies: Crushed whole Oreos (including the filling) make a chocolatey crust. You can use any flavor of filled cookies.
Ice Cream: I use vanilla ice cream in this recipe, but you can use any flavor. Strawberry or mint chocolate chip are great options.
Fudge Sauce: The homemade fudge sauce has a thick consistency (thicker and chocolate syrup) and a rich chocolatey flavor. It’s easy to make and highly recommended in this recipe.
Toppings: Sprinkle some nuts, extra crushed cookies, toffee pieces, or mini M&M’s for an extra special celebration!

Variations

Use Nilla Wafers, golden Oreos, or thin mints instead of Oreos.
Turn it into a birthday cake with golden Oreos and sprinkles.
Layer in sliced strawberries, bananas, or blueberries in Step 3 before the fudge topping if desired.

Holly’s Tips

Remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften before preparing this cake.
Line the loaf pan (or a small cake pan) with parchment paper to make it easy to remove from the pan.
Remove the frozen cake from the pan by dipping the bottom in cold water for about 5 seconds, then lift it out using the parchment paper as handles.
To cut the cake, dip a sharp knife in hot water between each slice.

If making homemade fudge sauce, prepare the sauce according to the recipe directions and cool to room temperature.
Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some parchment overhanging the sides.
Remove the ice cream from the freezer to soften about 10 minutes before assembling the cake.
Add the Oreos to a freezer bag (including the cream center) and crush with a rolling pin until they’re the size of small peas. Alternatively, you can pulse them a few times in a food processor.
In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter.
Add 1½ cups of the Oreo mixture into the loaf pan and press to create a crust.
Spread half of the ice cream over the Oreo base. Drizzle ¾ cup of fudge sauce over the ice cream layer and sprinkle with ⅔ cup of the crushed Oreo mixture. Repeat layers once more.
Top with Cool Whip & remaining Oreo crumbs. Freeze 4 hours or overnight.
To remove the cake, dip the pan in hot water for 5 seconds and lift the cake out using the parchment paper. Slice and serve with the remaining fudge sauce.

Use any flavor of ice cream.
An offset spatula is a great way to spread the ice cream.
