A lot of people are hesitant to make ice cream cakes because it looks difficult, but it’s actually really simple. It does take time since you have to freeze it after you add each layer (totaling 5 hours of freezer time), but believe me, it is SO worth it because in the end there are 5 delicious layers.
HOW TO MAKE AN OREO ICE CREAM CAKE
- There are only 4 simple steps to make a home ice cream cake.
- First make the chocolate cake
- Then prepare the no-churn Oreo ice cream
- Assemble your ice cream cake & freeze
- Add the toppings
MAKE THE CHOCOLATE CAKE
This is a single-layer 8-inch cake, but you can also make this in a 9-inch round without adjusting the recipe. You’ll just need to adjust the baking time accordingly.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and beat until combined, then add the sour cream and continue mixing until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Then add half the dry ingredients followed by half of the coffee and mix well until the flour starts to include. Then add the remaining dry ingredients and coffee and mix until combined.
Bake At 350°F for 28-30 Minutes
Test the cake for checking by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. Cool Completely.
MAKE THE OREO ICE CREAM
This is an easy no-mix Oreo ice cream. If you want to shorten the process even further, you can use store-bought ice cream, let it soften, and spread it over the cake.
First, prepare the whipped cream. Be sure to check out all my tips for making whipped cream if you’ve never done it. Chill the bowl in the freezer for 5-10 minutes. Pour the heavy whipping cream into the chilled bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until there is a soft form.
Add Sugar and Beat
Slowly add the powdered sugar and continue beating at high speed until stiff peaks form.
Soften the Cream Cheese
In the microwave it would be kept for 15-20 seconds. It should not be melting at all.
Beat the Softened Cream Cheese
Until it’s completely smooth and free of bumps. Next, add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract and continue beating until well mixed.
Add Whipped Cream
Then fold in the whipped cream until it’s fully incorporated.
Add Oreos
Finally, add the crushed Oreo cookies and stir until well mixed and the Oreo ice cake cream recipe is almost ready. Oreo ice cream cake recipe is my most favorite recipe.
ASSEMBLE THE OREO ICE CREAM CAKE & FREEZE
This is only a single layer of cake, but if you’d like to stack this cake, you can cut the layer of cake in half and alternate the layers of cake and ice cream.
Transfer the Cake Layer to an 8-inch Springform Pan
If you don’t have a springform pan, you can line your cake pan with plastic wrap along the bottom and up the sides. That’s okay because the whole cake is in the freezer.
Flatten Cake
Cut the roof off the top of the cake, so it’s nice and flat on top. Place the cake in the bottom of the pan.
Add Ice Cream
Pour the prepared ice cream base over the chocolate cake, spread evenly.
Freeze
Place in the freezer and freeze until the filling is set for 2-4 hours.
ADD TOPPINGS
The last step in making your ice cream cake is adding toppings. I’ve added a layer of simple chocolate ganache and whipped cream.
Chocolate Ganache
The chocolate ganache is very simple. I combine heavy cream with chopped chocolate and microwave at 50% power until it's melted and stirred smoothly. It’s best to let the chocolate cool before spreading it over the ice cream so that it doesn’t melt the ice cream.
HOW TO MAKE OREO ICE CREAM CAKE AHEAD
To make this ahead of time, you can prepare the cake and ice cream layer and keep it in the freezer. Then keep it tightly wrapped in plastic wrap. I recommend adding the toppings prior to serving if possible, but both the chocolate ganache and whipped cream will freeze just fine. The Oreo ice cream cake recipe is ready and In front of you.
