Make an ice cream cake this summer, this Oreo ice cream cake has an incredible red velvet cookie crust, layers of ice cream, pound cake, caramel, chocolate sauce, whip cream, and fun sprinkles!
For years, I have made this ice cream cake in a 9 x 11 glass pan, and that is fine and works really well.
But don't you think the "cake shape" and patriotic spirit is adorable and one of the best 4th of July Desserts? Honestly, I make this oreo ice cream cake year-round...

How To Make An Cream Cake:
Ice cream cakes work fine in glass 9 x 11 dishes, but using a springform pan really works!
A springform pan is often used for cheesecakes, and are round cake pans with a bottom that pops out, held by a locking collar forming the sides and keeping liquid from dripping out.
use a large glass dish or springform pan and push crushed red velvet Oreo cookie crust mixture in bottom press with a small measuring cup flat cut off brown sides of pound cake and cut into ½" cubes place in pan next pour ½ container of melted vanilla ice cream smooth this layer over the pound cake pieces drizzle chocolate sauce on next pour caramel sauce on top pour other ½ of melted vanilla ice cream on top smooth the ice cream layer smooth and place in the freezer overnight remove springform pan and spread cool whip on top, add patriotic sprinkles, refreeze until ready to serve
Nope! In fact, it popped right out of the ring so easily once it was frozen overnight.
The one I bought, has a very sturdy base, and only a tiny bit dripped out. You can easily wipe off any excess drips with a damp paper towel.
Of course! Use what you have, it's so fun to make a cake shape if you want to.
Where Did You Find The Patriotic Sprinkles?

Thanks for sharing awesome recipe, your instructions are going to be very helpful for me to make this ice cream cake. Thank you so much.
I love ice cream. That is why my mouth is watering right now. Thanks for sharing!
Hi ! Happy 4th July to You. It is great to see this superb patriotic cake. I hope it will taste as good as it looks. I will definitely try this one. Thanks for sharing.
I have a question, albeit a dumb one perhaps. I have never heard of a "cube" of butter before. I've heard of sticks of butter, though. What is a cube? Really want to make this, looks and sounds delicious!
Good Morning Sara! You are correct, it is a stick of butter...I will update the recipe so it's clear. So glad you are making the ice cream cake, it is a family favorite! Curious, are you making it in a large say 9x13 dish, or the springform pan? It works either way, enjoy it...our family eats it very fast!
Springform I'm thinking 😊 thank you!!
Sara, that is great! I am sure your party will be a blast, enjoy, and Happy 4th!
Looks so pretty and I bet it really wows the holiday crowd!
Thank you so much Paige, I love the sprinkles, fun right? Happy July 4th to you!! XO
Oh my goodness, this ice cream cake sounds divine!! So many wonderful flavors combined into one delicious cake that is super easy to make! Loving the colorful sprinkles!
