Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 1.5 cups Hot fudge sauce, warmed
- 1.5 quarts Vanilla ice cream, softened
- 1.5 quarts Chocolate ice cream, softened
- 12 ounces Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 0.5 cups Chocolate sprinkles or decorations (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by lining the bottom and sides with parchment or wax paper to make removing the cake easier.
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Pour the melted butter over the crushed cookies and mix until evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to create an even cookie crust.
Spread the warmed hot fudge sauce over the cookie crust, creating an even layer. Place the pan in the freezer to firm up, about 10 minutes.
Take the chocolate ice cream out of the freezer to allow it to soften slightly. Once softened, spread the chocolate ice cream over the fudge layer, pressing it down into an even layer. Freeze for 15–20 minutes to set.
Take the vanilla ice cream out of the freezer to soften. Once ready, spread the vanilla ice cream evenly over the chocolate ice cream. Freeze for 15–20 minutes.
Finally, spread the whipped topping over the top of the vanilla ice cream to create a smooth, creamy finish. If desired, sprinkle chocolate sprinkles or decorations over the whipped topping.
Cover the cake tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
When ready to serve, remove the springform pan and carefully peel away the parchment or wax paper. Slice the cake with a warm knife for clean cuts.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Almost Dairy Queen Blizzard Ice Cream Cake!
