Description
A layered chocolate ice cream cake featuring a fudgy chocolate base, creamy vanilla ice cream, and a crunchy Oreo fudge core, topped with whipped cream.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box Chocolate Cake Mix (prepared with required eggs, oil, and water)
- 2 quarts Vanilla Ice Cream (softened)
- 24 Oreo Cookies (coarsely crushed)
- 1 cup Hot Fudge Sauce
- 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (ice-cold)
- 3 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 6 Additional Oreo Cookies (for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package directions. Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Take your vanilla ice cream out of the freezer for 15 minutes to soften. Spread half of the softened ice cream evenly over the chilled cake layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Warm the hot fudge sauce in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Fold 20 crushed Oreo cookies into the fudge until thickly coated. Spread this mix over the ice cream layer and return to freezer for 15 minutes.
- Spread the remaining ice cream over the frozen Oreo-fudge core, smoothing the top surface flat. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Unclench the springform pan and slide the cake onto a serving platter. Pipe or spread fresh whipped cream around the borders, garnish with remaining crushed Oreos, and freeze for 10 minutes to set.
Notes
For best results, keep bowls chilled when working with ice cream, and ensure your hot fudge is warm, not hot, to preserve layers.
