Oreo Ice Cream Cake

Today is the last day of #SummerDessertWeek for me, and I'm sharing my version of an Oreo Ice Cream Cake. Both my son and husband have nut allergies so I've never been able to buy store bought ice cream cakes.  

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek!  I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own.

 

I had a Pillsbury Funfetti Oreo cake mix in the cupboard and I thought it would be fun to use it as a base. I mixed it according to the package directions and then baked it in the awesome springform pan that Circulon generously sent to us for this event.

It cracked a bit on the top, but no big deal, I split it into two layers and crumbled the top one up anyway. I mixed those crumbs with some Oreos I ran through the food processor and set them aside.

I gave the pan a quick wash (it's super easy to clean!) and dried it off. I laid a piece of parchment on the bottom disk, placed the ring back on and closed it up.  I spread in some softened vanilla ice cream and topped it with some of the cake crumble/Oreo crumb mixture.

That went into the freezer for 2 hours or so, until it was solid.  Then I topped that with some softened chocolate ice cream.  Back into the freezer again, this time for 4 hours.

At this point, things went a bit sideways. Above mentioned guys felt the need to go in and out of the freezer repeatedly despite the sign saying not to, so when I pulled the cake out to do some whipped cream decorations, they all slid right off.  It wasn't pretty.

I quickly grabbed the rest of the crumb mixture, patted it all over the sides and then quickly stuck the cake back into the freezer.  I left it there overnight, hoping that after coffee in the morning things would go more smoothly.

Another round of decorating with whipped cream failed, so I added the last of the crumbs to the sides, re-smoothed the top and then quickly made a pretty pattern with some Oreos. Back into the freezer it went.

I pulled it out to slice it and I had warm water that I dipped my serrated knife into then wiped dry.  That made nice clean cuts.  For some reason the chocolate ice cream seemed meltier than the vanilla, but I assure you that it's absolutely delicious despite it's appearance!

Despite the challenges with this one I really enjoyed #SummerDessertWeek and I hope you have too.  Huge thanks to Angie for hosting, to all the other bloggers for their awesome recipes, and to our sponsors, Dixie Crystals and Circulon! Make sure to go and enter the giveaway down below!
