Treat yourself to an amped-up Oreo with this chocolate-and-vanilla cookie ice cream cake. It’s so deliciously decadent, you wouldn’t guess it’s vegan. But the classic sandwich cookie is vegan-friendly, making them perfect for that crumbled cookie crust, filling and topping for this stacked creation. Homemade chocolate shell is the “icing” on this crowd-pleaser of a cake, good for big celebrations or as an everyday dessert.

directions

Notes

This recipe requires 7 hours chill time.

Step 1

Remove ice cream from freezer while preparing crust and let sit at least 10 minutes. Line a dinner plate (or any other flat surface that will fit in your freezer) with parchment paper.

Step 2

For the crust: Line a 7- to 8-inch springform pan with a round of parchment paper on the bottom. In a food processor, pulse Oreo cookies until finely crushed. Add coconut oil and pulse until mixture is uniform. Sprinkle over parchment paper in springform pan and gently press into bottom.

Step 3

For the filling: Roughly chop Oreo cookies. In a large stand-mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, slowly mix 6 cups of ice cream until smooth and whipped. Add chopped Oreos and salt, mixing again to fully combine and smoothing over prepared crust. Transfer to freezer for at least 6 hours.

Step 6

To assemble: Remove springform pan from freezer and let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the perimeter of the cake and unhinge springs. Remove bottom and place on a serving plate that will fit in your freezer.

Step 7

Working quickly, drizzle cake with chocolate shell, reserving 1 tablespoon for finishing, allowing it to fall over the edges. Crumble 4 of the 8 remaining Oreos for the topping.

Step 8

Remove ice cream balls from freezer and place on top of chocolate shell. Mound ice cream balls in the centre of the cake, drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon chocolate shell and remaining 4 Oreos, halved or crumbled.

Step 9

Immediately transfer back to freezer to firm up for at least 1 hour. Remove cake from freezer, slice and serve. Store leftovers covered in freezer in a large container or cake box.
