Frozen Oreo Dessert By Kelly Miller • May31,2013 • Updated January 25, 2022 • 15 Comments 9.2K Jump to Recipe Frozen Oreo Dessert made with sweet cream cheese, Cool Whip, chocolate, and Oreos – freeze and it tastes JUST LIKE ice cream! Ok I have two confessions to make while writing this recipe post. The first: I’m not the best wife in the world. I know, big shocker right?! Well, we all can’t be perfect haha! No seriously, Paul has asked me pretty much every single year of our married life (2007, you do the math) to have ice cream cake for his birthday. And you know what, I get an A for effort. Each year I put it on the grocery list, usually clip a coupon from Carvel or Baskin Robbins, and head to the store only to just about DIE from sticker shock. Those jiggers are expensive!! Expensive and small. Please don’t tell me you buy those things because I just might have to stop being your friend. Just kidding. Though I may invite you over for a piece of this cake. 🙂 I then proceed to shake my head and pass the ice cream cake case vowing to find some amazing peanut butter recipe to make for him (his other dessert obsession), this year it was Peanut Butter Cup Cheesecake. Absolutely delicious, but you know what? It wasn’t ice cream cake. So after making this cake – I will never have that problem again!  Ready for the second confession? This technically isn’t an ice cream cake. But I’m telling you, take one bite and you would never know – I swear. The best part of this cake is that because it technically has no ice cream, it absolutely WILL NOT melt in a puddle on the platter or plate. And I have pictures to prove it! 😀 Alright, as promised – here is my picture of the original slice 20 minutes later… Can you believe that?? No melting, though I definitely prefer eating this as cold as possible. The perfect summer treat!

Thrifty Frugal Mom says May 31, 2013 at 12:14 pm Oh, this looks totally scrumptious! I love ice cream cakes, but like you, about die of sticker shock if I attempt to buy them. My parents on rare occasions bought the DQ ones for my birthday when I was younger. They were so, so good…and now I'm hungry for some! Do you think this recipe would work with real whipped cream instead of Cool Whip? I try to avoid Cool Whip but I've never tried freezing real whipped cream so I'm wondering if it would work. Maybe it just wouldn't hold up as good? Reply
Kelly Miller says May 31, 2013 at 12:25 pm I think it would probably work pretty well! I would make sure the melted chocolate has cooled down considerably before adding that. I would be curious as to the non-melting aspect, if you try it let me know how that turned out! Reply
julieseatsandtreats says May 31, 2013 at 5:32 pm You are a genius! This looks amazing and my hubby also loves ice cream cake and I go to Dairy Queen and die of sticker shock. I haven't got him one yet! Reply

Justin D says June 6, 2013 at 12:03 am I think I made this once a loooong time ago. I loved Kraft Food & Family magazine, in fact I even have a pinterest board or the recipes! I can't remember for sure but I think this is the recipe I made once quite a while ago. It was really good and everyone loved it. Reply
Kelly Miller says June 6, 2013 at 12:31 am Justin – it could have been! I tore it out of an old issue, maybe 1998? I did make some minor changes though, more Oreos and a bit different layering. SO good! Reply
Jocelyn says June 18, 2014 at 6:55 pm I just hate paying so much for those ice cream cakes at the stores. But hooray for this awesome cake that I can make at home. My daughter is going to die over all the Oreos in this one! Reply
