Table of Contents
This recipe for Oreo Ice Cream Cake is one of my favorite desserts for summer, which is saying a lot, because I know you know that I love a good ice cream cake.
Maybe it was my recipe for Strawberry Shortcake Ice Cream Cake that convinced you. Or maybe it was my Ice Cream Brownie Mountain that gave my not-so-secret obsession away. This Copycat Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake?
But when you think about it, what’s not to love?
Ice cream in cake form is the perfect dessert in every sense — it tastes amazing, it’s a breeze to make, and you can experiment with as many flavor variations as you’d like.
And this ice cream cake?
This one’s got Oreo cookies and Oreo ice cream!
(Like I said above, this ice cream cake is for Oreo lovers only!)

The one thing this recipe requires is time; each layer is frozen before the next layer is added. I like to make this cake on a day when I know I’ll be hanging out at home, at least a day before I plan on serving it. It can also be made well in advance, just wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Because you never know when you’re going to need an emergency Oreo Ice Cream Cake! (<– I won’t admit how often this happens around here ๐ )
How to make an Oreo Ice Cream Cake:
- Start with a decadent Oreo crust: This crust requires only two ingredients and almost zero effort!
- Layer with softened ice cream: Removing the ice cream from the freezer about 20 minutes beforehand makes the layering and mixing process a snap.
- Freeze between layers: Taking the time to freeze the cake between each layer will make cake-building a mess-free endeavor, with clear layers!
- Decorate the finished Oreo ice cream cake: Once the cake has been assembled it’s all ready to be decorated. I suggest a combination of whipped cream or whipped topping, chocolate sauce, and Oreo cookies.
How long can I store Oreo Ice Cream Cake?
This Oreo Ice Cream Cake can be frozen up to 3 months.
Obviously, I don’t recommend storing at room temperature or in the refrigerator unless you like ice cream soup ๐
When you remove the ice cream cake from the freezer to serve, you will want to let it sit about 10 minutes before slicing.
You will have about 20-25 minutes before your ice cream cake will get very soft and you’ll want to return it to the freezer, so be sure to have your guests assembled before serving!
Variations on this Oreo Ice Cream Cake:
- No Oreo ice cream? Not to worry! This cake is just as delicious when made with plain vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
- Take advantage of Oreo specialty flavors! Keep your eye out for mint, double-stuffed, birthday cake, and cinnamon bun-flavored Oreos (among others!) — and feel free to mix up the ice cream flavor to match!
- For a peanut butter twist use peanut butter Oreos, stirring smooth or creamy peanut butter into the ice cream instead of hot fudge sauce (give it 20 seconds in the microwave to help mix it in better!)
- Alternatively, swap the hot fudge sauce with caramel sauce, strawberry sauce, or fruit preserves. There are unlimited options!
- Make a dairy-free version of this ice cream cake! Did you know that Oreos are naturally vegan? Simply substitute the ice cream, hot fudge sauce, and whipped topping with your favorite non-dairy version.

Carrie says
Hi,
Could you put this in a 9×9 or 8×8 pan instead
Caroline says
Can it be frozen with the whipped cream and garnishes so it’s ready to be served? Thanks!
Ashley Fehr says
Yes it can!
Sophia says
Do you keep the cake in the bottom of springform pan or do you remove it with wax paper onto serving platter?
Thank you
The Recipe Rebel says
Hi Sophia! I remove it! Enjoy!
Cam says
Hi Ashley! Is there a trick to removing the cake from the springform pan? It’s frozen solid with the ice cream. I’m hoping that when I’m ready to serve it that it will just soften and release after setting out for 10 minutes? Thanks so much! So excited to serve this for my kiddo’s b-day!
Ashley Fehr says
Hi Cam! Yes I just let it warm for some time and then it should come out fine. If you need to speed things up, you can wrap a warm towel around the edges and the bottom to make things go faster!

Sam says
Are you sure it’s eight tablespoons of butter for 24 Oreos? Every Oreo crust recipe I’ve ever seen (& I’ve seen a few) calls for four or five tablespoons.
Ashley Fehr says
I am sure that this is the way I make my Oreo Ice Cream Cake, yes ๐
