Description
A joyful freezer cake with creamy layers, a crunchy cookie center, and fluffy whipped topping that feels like a party in every slice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Oreo cookies (crushed with filling for a crunchy layer)
- 2.5 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted to bind the crumbs)
- 1.75 quarts chocolate ice cream (softened just until spreadable)
- 1.25 cups hot fudge sauce (slightly warmed for easy spreading)
- 1.75 quarts strawberry ice cream (softened but still thick)
- 2.25 cups heavy cream (very cold for whipping)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted to avoid lumps)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for flavoring the cream)
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional for decorating)
Instructions
- Pulse the cookies in a processor or blender until you have coarse crumbs with some small chunks remaining, then stir them together with the melted butter and set aside.
- Let the chocolate ice cream sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften, and line a tall springform pan completely with overlapping sheets of plastic wrap.
- Spoon the softened chocolate ice cream into the prepared pan and quickly smooth it into an even base layer, then place it in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Warm the hot fudge until it spreads easily, then spread about half of it over the frozen chocolate layer and sprinkle the cookie mixture evenly on top.
- Return the pan to the freezer for another 30 minutes, and during the last 10 minutes let the strawberry ice cream soften on the counter.
- Drizzle the remaining hot fudge over the cookie layer, then spread the strawberry ice cream evenly over the top and smooth the surface.
- Cover the pan tightly and freeze the cake for at least 12 hours or until completely solid all the way through.
- In a large bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until thick, fluffy, and holding stiff peaks.
- Remove the frozen cake from the pan using the plastic wrap, peel the wrap away, place the cake on a cold serving plate, and frost the top and sides with the whipped cream before adding sprinkles if using.
- Slice with a sharp knife warmed in hot water and serve right away, or return to the freezer for up to 1 hour before serving for cleaner slices.
