Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake

  • 20 Oreo cookies
  • 4 Tablespoons salted butter, cubed
  • 48 ounces chocolate ice cream, softened to room temperature
  • 48 ounces vanilla ice cream, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup hot fudge, warmed slightly

For the Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Soften Chocolate Ice Cream: Set the 48 ounces of chocolate ice cream on the counter to soften to room temperature, making it easier to spread later.
  2. Prepare Cookie Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a lipped baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 20 Oreo cookies into a large zip-top bag and crush thoroughly using a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
  3. Melt Butter: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 tablespoons of cubed salted butter by heating for approximately 30 seconds until fully melted.
  4. Combine Crumbs and Butter: Pour the crushed Oreo crumbs into the melted butter and mix thoroughly with a fork until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  5. Bake Cookie Crust: Spread the buttered cookie crumbs evenly onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 7-8 minutes, or until crisp and fragrant. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  6. Assemble First Ice Cream Layer: Line a 9-inch springform pan with plastic wrap, leaving excess hanging over the sides. Use an offset spatula to spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly into the pan. Freeze for 30 minutes to set.
  7. Add Hot Fudge and Crumbs: Warm 1 cup of hot fudge until it is pourable, then let it cool slightly. Remove the pan from the freezer and pour the hot fudge evenly over the chocolate ice cream layer. Sprinkle the cooled cookie crumbs evenly on top. Return to the freezer for at least 1 hour.
  8. Add Vanilla Ice Cream Layer: Spread the 48 ounces of softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the hot fudge and crumb layer. Freeze for 4-6 hours or up to overnight to ensure the cake is fully set.
  9. Prepare Whipped Cream: Remove the cake from the freezer to slightly soften while making the whipped cream. In a chilled bowl, combine 2 cups cold heavy cream, ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 5-10 minutes until fluffy and cloud-like.
  10. Unmold Cake: Unlock the springform pan, place a cutting board lined with parchment paper on top, and carefully flip the pan over. Remove the plastic wrap from the base, then flip the cake back onto a serving platter or cake plate.
  11. Decorate with Whipped Cream: Quickly spread half of the whipped cream over the cake’s surface with an offset spatula. If the cake or cream begins to melt, refrigerate briefly. Transfer the remaining whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (e.g., 1M) and pipe dollops around the top and base of the cake.
  12. Add Sprinkles and Chill: Decorate the whipped cream dollops with sprinkles. Return the cake to the freezer to set before serving.
  13. Serve: When ready to serve, run a sharp knife under hot water, dry it well, and slice the cake cleanly. Enjoy your delicious ice cream cake!

Notes

  • Make sure the ice cream is softened enough to spread easily but not melted.
  • Cooling the cookie crust thoroughly prevents sogginess in the cake layers.
  • Be cautious when flipping the cake to maintain its shape and smooth layers.
  • If the whipped cream softens too much, refrigerate the cake briefly to firm it up before piping.
  • This cake is best served within 2-3 days of assembly for optimal freshness.
