    With summer right around the corner, we all start to crave frozen treats. Imagine if you could indulge in your favorite snack cookie and ice cream at the same time. Well, no need to imagine! With my Three-ingredient Oreo Ice Cream Cake recipe, your dream will become a reality. With a few simple steps and three ingredients, you’ll be pampering yourself with a slice of heaven!

    Easy Three-Ingredient Oreo Ice Cream Cake!

    I had so much fun making this yummy treat with my young girls. We made an afternoon of it! We were all craving a sweet frozen treat and I thought to myself: What do I have on hand that we could use to create a fun and easy dessert?

    Well, I opened my pantry and there was a pack of double-stuffed Oreos staring right back at me! So, I pulled them out onto the counter and asked the girls what they thought of an Oreo ice cream cake. Needless to say, they were super excited!

    A great family activity to create and eat together!

    Reasons to Make this Sweet Frozen Treat

    Kid-Friendly– What kid doesn’t love ice cream? Or Oreos? Lol! So, a treat that combines both is just dessert heaven for the kiddos. Plus, it’s a great summertime activity! Get those kids in the kitchen helping you out in putting this no-bake dessert dish together!

    Easy to Make– With a mere three ingredients (more if you want to add different toppings) this Oreo Ice Cream Cake is super easy to make. Also, you likely have the ingredients on hand or can easily grab or order them from your local grocery store.

    Quick Prep– Not only are there a few ingredients, but it’s very quick to put together. In a mere 3 or 4 simple steps, your cake will be ready for the freezer. The longer part of the preparation is freezing it. How long it needs in the freezer depends on how soft your ice cream is.

    Versatile– What I mean here is that you can prepare this dessert to your liking. You can use non-dairy ice cream for example. Don’t like Oreos (omg is there anyone out there who doesn’t lol), you can use your favorite cookies instead. Furthermore, you can switch up ice cream flavors if you don’t want to use plain vanilla or chocolate ice cream.

    Perfect for Any Occasion– Have a birthday coming up? Make this yummy cake in place of a store bought cake. You can serve this cake at parties, family barbecues, at potlucks, and so much more. You can decorate the cake according to the occasion. Also, you can make it in any season!

    Frequently asked questions

    How long should the ice cream be left to thaw before adding to the cake?

    It’s best that the ice cream not left out too long or it will become runny. The ice cream should be soft enough to easily scoop out and spread over the cookie mixture.

    How long should the cake be frozen before serving?

    This really depends on how soft or melted the ice cream in the cake is before serving. It can be anywhere from one to two hours.

    Do I need butter to keep the cookie mixture together?

    I used double-stuffed Oreos, so the cream inside was enough to get the mixture thick. If you’re using regular Oreos, you may want to add a three or four tablespoons of melted butter.

    How long can an Oreo Ice Cream Cake be stored?

    Packed well in an airtight container, the cake can be stored in the freezer up to 2 months if there is no whip cream, eggs, or decorations.

    Tips for Making the Best Oreo Ice Cream Cake

    • Depending on the occasion, you can add whatever decorations or toppings you like. Including: caramel, chocolate fudge, our favorite fruits, jam, whip cream, sprinkles, chocolate chips, whole Oreos, etc.
    • You can choose to remove the cream from inside the Oreos before crushing. This means you would need to add butter to the crushed cookies to get them to hold well together. You can then use the cream to decorate the top with by melting them in a pan and pouring over the top.
    • If you would like thicker layers of ice cream, you may want to use 2 pints of each kind instead of the my recommended 1 pint.
    • Use any ice cream flavors you like with a special recommendation on using mint chocolate chip ice cream!
    • After putting all the ingredients together, freeze between 1 to 2 hours before serving.
    • Remove about 10 to 15 minutes on the counter or 30 minutes in the fridge before serving to thaw it a bit so you can easily slice it up and serve it.
    • Use a serrated knife for cleaner slices when cutting.
    • If your cake isn’t decorated, it lasts up to 2 months in the freezer. In general, it is best served within 5 to 7 days of its preparation.
    • Wrap the cake in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container when freezing for a fresher taste.
