Strawberry Ice Cream Cake
Description
The Strawberry Ice Cream Cake starts with a base of crushed golden Oreo cookies mixed with melted butter, pressed into a springform pan to form a sturdy crust. Layers of softened vanilla ice cream, Coldstone brand strawberry sauce, and additional crushed Oreo cookies create a complex, sweet-and-creamy texture profile. After an hour of freezing, a layer of softened strawberry ice cream and whipped topping is spread on before the cake is frozen until firm. The top is finished with diced fresh strawberries and more crumbled Oreos, adding freshness and contrasting crunch.
Each slice offers a smooth, chilled dessert experience with familiar cookie flavors accented by fresh fruit. The cake needs to thaw briefly before serving to ensure clean slices and easy portioning.
The recipe notes suggest that if Coldstone strawberry sauce is unavailable, strawberry jam should be used as a substitute to maintain a similar flavor profile. Leftover cake can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months, keeping it convenient for future occasions.

- 45 golden Oreo cookies divided
- ½ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 1 quart vanilla ice cream softened

- Crush another 16 Golden Oreos and place over top of the strawberry sauce.
- Place in freezer for 1 hour.
- Remove from freezer and spread the strawberry ice cream over the layer of strawberries then top with a layer of whipped topping.
- Place in the freezer for 6-8 hours until it is completely firm.
- Remove the cake from the freezer and allow it to thaw for 5-10 minutes before removing it from the pan.
- Crush another 5 Oreos and add the 1/2 cup of diced strawberries and Oreo crumbs on top of the cake to finish it off.
- Slice carefully with a sharp knife and serve immediately.
Notes
