Oreo ice cream cake is just too irresistible to expect folks to leave it alone long enough to photograph. So this is the best one I got out of four. It’s the perfect blend of crunchy cookies, creamy ice cream, gooey chocolate syrup, light and fluffy whipped cream, and magical magic shell.
July 8th is Southern Plate’s Birthday!
So this most definitely calls for cake.
Ingredients You Will Need To make this Oreo Ice Cream Cake are:
- Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
- Large Frozen Whipped Topping
- Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup
- Chocolate Fudge Magic Shell, and a Family Size Bag of Oreo Cookies.
Choosing an ice cream
I like Kroger brand deluxe ice cream. Choose your favorite but get the best quality that you can and make sure it says “ice cream” rather than “frozen dairy product”..
How To Make Oreo Ice Cream Cake
Step by Step Instructions:
- Coarsely crush most of the Oreos (save about ten for the top) and sprinkle them in the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish.
- Soften the ice cream by sitting it out for a few minutes and then spread it over the top. I do this by plopping spoonfuls all over the top and then smearing them together with a butter knife.
- Generously Zig Zag some Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup over this.
Now spread the entire container of whipped topping over this. Press the remaining oreos into the top and then zig zag some magic shell over the top.
To keep it looking pretty, place in the freezer for a few minutes uncovered, to allow the magic shell to harden, then cover and return to freezer until ready to serve. This is surprisingly easy to cut.
Ingredients
- 1 container Cookies and Cream Ice Cream I am using 1.5 quart container, you can use more or less, softened
- 1 package Oreo cookies or the cheapie generic, like I use
- 1 container caramel ice cream topping about 2 cups
Instructions
- Place cookies in a gallon zipper bag and crush them. Line the bottom of a 9x13 pan or two 8x8 pans with half the cookie crumbs. Spread the softened ice cream over the top. Top with caramel topping and then remaining cookie crumbs. Wrap well with foil and freeze for several hours before serving.

Thank you for being a blessing in my life and for the honor of allowing me to be a small part of yours.
I’m trying to get the recipe for the six-layer Oreo cake. It shows the ingredients but not the directions for making it.
If you scroll down a little further Lena you will see the printable recipe card. Enjoy!
I make this in a deep pie plate but am so glad to see it in the larger pan! This is what my family members request for each of their birthday cakes! It’s wonderful with mint chocolate chip ice cream, caramel pecan ice cream, and coffee ice cream, for certain. Probably tastes wonderful with any flavor ice cream. I’ve used the squeezable cake gel or frosting tube from the grocery baking aisle to write “Happy B’day, ___!” on it. YUMMY Cake-and most of the restaurants we’ve been to on birthdays will put it in their freezer while we eat if requested (I call ahead of time to make sure). We pack it in a plastic container and slide it into a soft sided cooler bag. Request it brought out as the meal is winding down. To make it worth your server’s while, take your own paper plates/bowls, plastic spoons, napkins, and a trash bag to collect your own family’s birthday ice cream trash. This also allows for festive looking birthday tableware. I usually tie the trash bag up and throw it away at home. And- the server ALWAYS gets a slice. It’s not easy to take it back home (more reason to share) but there’s usually not a piece left anyway-fam even scrapes the pan for the Oreo crust. Everybody wins!
Two of the best things about Southern Plate: (1) Use what you have, don’t run to the store, and (2) suit the recipe to YOUR taste, not Southern Plate – just don’t change it enough to make it a totally different recipe. Thanks for showing us your faith, your family, and your wonderful recipes.
Happy Birthday Brady. Wish I had been with Southern Plate from the beginning !!!
