This Oreo Ice Cream Cake is the perfect combination of crumbled cream-filled chocolate cookies and creamy vanilla ice cream.
This Oreo Ice Cream Cake has been a family birthday tradition. Who could blame us? This is cookies and cream ice cream taken to a whole new level. Nobody can stop you from making a delicious dessert with only three ingredients.

Every year as a child I looked forward to my birthday. I know not a surprise but I even looked forward to my sisters and brother’s birthday too! Not because of presents or the fact we got to choose what we had for dinner, but that birthday celebrations were the only time throughout the year that we got our Mom’s Oreo ice cream cake. We all looked forward to it and as we got older our friends did too!
Leftovers were a rarity and if there were any you can guarantee there was a brawl, or actually, since we had mainly girls in our house there was guaranteed screaming match. Oh, the memories. Now that we are older and grown, we still look forward to our mom making us this classic. Occasionally, the grandkids will request it to and she is always more than willing to make it just like any Nana would.
This goes well for summer parties or anytime throughout the year you want a blizzard in a cake or pie. We made this today for my son, Cannon who turned 3. Since his birthday is in October I threw in a few Halloween Oreos to make it more festive. Also, you can substitute any standard blizzard favorite. My dad said tonight we should do Butterfinger next. Heck yeah, I will.
Enjoy! XOXO San
How do you make Oreo Ice Cream Cake?
-
Let ice cream sit out for a few minutes to soften a bit. Crumble Oreos into coarse pieces.
-
Add ice cream and cool whip in a bowl and mix together. I do this in my Kitchen Aid mixer as I hate getting cold and sticky hands. Just stir enough to combine, if you over stir it will get soupy.
-
Fold Oreos into ice cream mixture.
-
Put the ice cream in a 9×13 pan, or what I like to do a 12-inch cheesecake pan (but for this you will need to double the recipe) and cover with wax paper.
-
Place in freezer for 1-2 hours.
-
Before you serve, let it sit out for a few minutes so that it is easier to cut.
My favorite kitchen tools used to make Oreo Ice Cream Cake:

KITCHENAID MIXER: I love my Kitchen-Aid mixer and use it almost daily. For cookies, bread, sauces, frostings and dough – I find many recipes that I can use my Kitchenaid to reduce prep time. I have two that I couldn’t live without.
OR
HAND MIXER: I love these for small batches or quick and easy recipes that don’t require a lot of ingredients. I love that you can have so many color options now, I love personally love teal
MIXING BOWLS: I love having a variety of sizes of mixing bowls. From small to large, I find that having at least 3 bowls of different sizes has been essential in my kitchen. I prefer Pyrex because of its durability.
9X13 METAL BAKING PAN: I use metal for this recipe, but you can use glass as well.
