Hey, it’s me Lily again! Guess where I am?! I’m in our new house in Arizona. We are already unpacking all the boxes!! I kinda miss Texas already. BUT, I get to play with my cousins and my grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles and second cousins. I’m really super duper, extra shmooper pooper excited to be back by my family. Since it’s so hot in Arizona, we are always looking for things to help cool us down, and today’s recipe will really help.
The recipe is for Oreo Ice Cream Cake. It’s really good and easy to make. If you’ve tried our Dirt Cake and love Oreos, then I think you’ll love this one too. The recipe reminded me of the Dirt cake with all the Oreos, which made it really familiar and really yummy…. and perfect to keep us cool in the hot Arizona heat.

My mom says you really can’t go wrong with a good Ice Cream Cake, and she’s right. This cake is great too because it can be changed up with your favorite ice cream. I think we will try Mint Chocolate Chip next time. 🙂 We’ve always loved ice cream cakes and think you’ll love this yummy treat too. 😉

Wow, this cake looks scrumptious. To bad my birthday was last week. I guess we will have to have it for my brother’s birthday.
Lil' Luna
You don’t need a birthday to eat this:) It is for sure scrumptious!! Hope you give it a try and like it!!
Sydney
Hi, Excited to try this recipe for my boyfriend’s birthday! How far in advance can it be made? (Can I make it on Thursday if I plan to serve it on Sunday?)
Lil' Luna
I haven’t made it that far in advance, but since it’s in the freezer already, I’m sure it’d be ok. Cover well 🙂 Have fun and hope he likes it!
Bridget
Do you use only the cookie part of the Oreos, or the cream as well?
I can’t wait to try this!!
Lil' Luna
The whole thing!! 🙂 It’s delish!! Let me know what you think!!
Megan
This looks so good! I’d like to make it for my daughter’s birthday, but I wasn’t sure if a full gallon was exactly what you meant for the ice cream or if it was one of the quart size ones. I feel like one of those big tubs of ice cream would be too much. I just want to make sure that it’s not a typo before I go out and buy all of that ice cream for it. 🙂

Hi. Do you by any chance have a more precise measurement for the amount of Oreos used (like approximately how many cookies, or ounces)? It says one package…but it seems like the package sizes keep shrinking lately. There are definitely fewer cookies than there used to be (which is probably good because now if I eat an entire package in one sitting, I can feel slightly less guilty :)! But I’m worried that if, for example, you made it last year when a package of Oreos contained 45 cookies…and I make it today with a package that now only contains 39 cookies…that the crust won’t work out right. I could always use a Family Size package (but that may be too many cookies). Not the biggest problem to have, but just wondering if you could clarify. Thanks!
Kristyn Merkley
The regular size package will work just fine 🙂 Even, if you did the family size, the more oreos, the better 🙂 It won’t ruin the recipe, if there is too much or not enough.
Evelyn
Wowww! Looks easy i want to try to make this ice cream cake oreo for my mother’s birthday. But it seems to be often frozen in the freezer. I love this recipe! Thank you.
Kristyn Merkley
You can do it 🙂 She’ll love it!
Amanda
I am making this for my husband’s birthday. I am needing to make this in parts. Is it okay to be in the freezer longer than 2 hours for the crust/ice cream part? This will be my first ice cream cake but it looks super easy!
Kristyn Merkley
Should be just fine 😉 I hope he loves it!! Good luck!
Amanda
Thank you! He and everyone else loved it!!

I’m also confused about when you add in the cream center of the Oreos. It says crushed and divided, perhaps I wasn’t supposed to remove the filling? The 1/4 cup butter didn’t seem enough to make it pack well for a crust. As for the ice cream, no way will a gallon fit in my 9×13 pan, especially leaving enough room for remaining ingredients. Guess I’m winging it. I’ll add the Oreo filling back in somewhere, probably just to the top with the reserved crushed cookies.
