Description

A no-bake showstopper layered with a crunchy Oreo crust, rich hot fudge, two layers of your favorite ice cream flavors, and a fluffy homemade whipped cream topping.


Ingredients

Cake:

  • 10 Oreo cookies (110g)
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1.5 quarts (1.42L) chocolate ice cream, softened (or flavor of choice)
  • 1 cup (227g) homemade or store-bought hot fudge, divided
  • 1.5 quarts (1.42L) strawberry ice cream, softened (or flavor of choice)

Topping:

  • 2 cups (480ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup (40g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1.5 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Sprinkles, optional for garnish


Instructions

  1. Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely crushed, then stir in the melted butter until evenly combined.
  2. Press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan to form an even crust. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  3. Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the crust, then return to the freezer for 30 minutes until firm.
  4. Spread half the hot fudge evenly over the chocolate ice cream layer, then freeze for another 15-20 minutes.
  5. Spread the softened strawberry ice cream evenly over the fudge layer, smoothing the top.
  6. Freeze the cake for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.
  7. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  8. Remove the cake from the springform pan and spread or pipe the whipped cream over the top.
  9. Drizzle with the remaining hot fudge and add sprinkles, if desired, before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Soften the ice cream just enough to spread easily without fully melting, for the cleanest layers.
  • Freeze between each layer to keep the layers distinct when sliced.
