Ooey Gooey Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Cake

By Courtney 15 Comments

This Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Cake is not only super easy to make, but it’s also totally customizable to fit your favorite flavors AND it’s absolutely delicious!

Cookies and Cream Ice Cream Cake

If you’re not a fan of Oreos, chocolate, caramel, and ice cream then this post definitely isn’t for you. And I also think you’re crazy.

But if you’re like me and your sweet tooth goes into overdrive at the site of anything involving ice cream and cookies, then keep on reading because I think you’re going to like what I’ve got in store for you today!

It was a few years ago when I was first introduced to the ice cream cookie cake. I’ve also experienced different different variations of it, too, and they’re all spectacular.

IMG_4067

Truth is, I was never a huge fan of ice cream cakes growing up. But that was when the only kind of ice cream cake I knew was the standard one you can buy at the store with chocolate on the bottom, chocolate cookie crumbs in the middle, and vanilla on the top. Plain, boring, no fun.

But this? This is fun.

And not only that, but it’s beyond easy to make AND can be totally customizable. Love cookie dough ice cream (ahem…that’s me)? Pair that with some chocolate chip cookies. Are you crazy for butter pecan? Go ahead and scoop that up with some butterscotch and pecan sandies cookies. The possibilities are endless!

But for this cake, I went simple with the Cookies and Cream route. A quick crust made of Oreos and some butter, layered with hot fudge, and surrounded by more Oreos.

And then topped off with Cookies & Cream and Fudge Ripple ice cream, along with all sorts of hot fudge, gooey caramel, and whipped cream.

It’s heaven. Seriously…I just don’t have any other way to describe it.

As much as I love a homemade cake or cupcake with homemade frosting, there’s just something about this ice cream cake that can’t be beat. I’m pretty sure I need to come up with a reason to “celebrate” with one of these more often.

Maybe something like a, “1st of the Month Ice Cream Cake Celebration?”

C’mon, it could totally be a thing!

What about you? What ice cream flavors would you combine for the ‘ultimate’ ice cream cake?

    Last spring/summer when I was hugely pregnant and then had two tiny babies but wanted to feel like I was contributing something to any sort of party we attended, I started making all sorts of no-bake desserts, ice box and ice cream cakes, and now it's so hard to do any actually baking! These types of desserts are my absolute favorite to make (and eat) because the possibilities and flavor combinations are endless!

    Oh my goodness, this looks INCREDIBLE. I'm thinking peanut butter chocolate chip cookie with peanut butter cup ice cream would be awesome. Or a snickerdoodle cookie with a caramel swirl ice cream. The possibilities are endless and amazing.

    […] As soon as we pick him up he’s fine and his eyes will open/close/roll back/repeat so he’s clearly tired, but it’s like he’s just wired and can’t fully get to sleep. Don’t get me wrong, I totally understand that baby sleep is a total mystery and that this is likely a phase that will pass…but mama needs her evening down time to be able to eat her nightly bowl of ice cream! Or ice cream cake. […]
