This ice cream cake recipe is just rediculously easy to make, looks very impressive, and tastes incredible! It takes about 10 minutes to assemble, not including freezing time. My large springform pan yielded 12 large slices.

Recipe type: Dessert
Serves: 12
Ingredients
  • a springform pan*
  • a package of oreos
  • 1 to 1½ T milk
  • a family pack of ice cream sandwiches (contains 12)
  • 1 pint of strawberry ice cream
  • 1 pint of birthday cake ice cream
  • 1 pint of chocolate ice cream…or any flavor combination that you choose.
  • candy & sprinkles to decorate
  • whipped cream and chocolate syrup (optional)
*my springform pan was 13 inches or so. You can use a smaller pan and very easily adjust your amounts.
Instructions
  1. Spray pan with cooking spray.
  2. Line sides with wax paper...the wax paper strips will stick to the spray.
  3. Crush the oreos to a fine consistency. I used about 24 oreos for my large pan, and crushed them in a gallon plastic bag with my rolling pin.
  4. Stir in the milk until the oreo crumbs starts to hold together slightly (clumpy). Set aside.
  5. Unwrap ice cream sandwiches. Stack them up three at a time, and cut them in half, and then each half into half, making quarters. Press stacks snugly around the side of your pan. This forms the stand up, stripey crust.
  6. Press the oreo mix into center of pan, pressing them firmly to form your bottom crust.
  7. Put crust in freezer for 1 hour to firm up. (I set my timer for 45 minutes, to remind me to take out the ice cream to soften for the final 15 minutes.)
  8. Remove pints of ice cream from freezer and let them soften up for about 15 minutes.
  9. Mix the ice cream a bit to make it spreadable, and press the first flavor into the crust. Repeat with remaining two flavors.
  10. You can top your ice cream cake with cool whip now if you want. Cover with plastic wrap, and freeze for several hours until solid.
To serve:
  1. remove from pan. I kept it on the base of the springform pan, and just sat it on a cake plate.
  2. Just before serving, drizzle cake with chocolate syrup, and shake on a variety of sprinkles.
  3. Cut into wedges just like a regular cake. Enjoy! It's yummy!
