- It costs much less than buying an ice cream cake.
- You can use your favorite ice cream flavors to change it up!
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.
How to Make Oreo Ice Cream Cake
Double up the recipe and keep one in the freezer for a sweet treat!
- Mix crushed Oreos and butter and press it into the bottom of a loaf pan.
- Layer the ice cream, fudge sauce, and crushed Oreo cookies.
- Top with whipped topping and remaining Oreo crumbs and freeze until solid.
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.

Oreo Ice Cream Cake
Layers of vanilla ice cream, fudge, and Oreo cookies, topped with whipped cream create a deliciously cool dessert.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 33 Oreo cookies (13.29oz package)
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 3 cups vanilla ice cream softened (or your favorite flavor)
- 8 ounces whipped topping such as Cool Whip, or as needded
- 2 cups fudge sauce or store bought hot fudge sauce
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- Use any flavor of ice cream.
- An offset spatula is a great way to spread the ice cream.

Super great recipe
I have a question on the Oreo fudge ice cream cake and I don’t know how to get the question answered but if I make my own fudge sauce she says to use chocolate chips, but is that semi sweet ?milk chocolate? I’m not sure?
Hoping someone can answer
I use semi-sweet chocolate chips in the fudge sauce.
Love your recipes. This cake looks delicious! Can I use whipped cream instead of cool whip?
Thank you Jackie! I’ve only tried the recipe as written. It should work, but the texture will be slightly different (still delicious!).
