Copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake

May 24, 2018 by My Farmhouse Table Leave a Comment

Copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake

My birthday is in June. The best part of having a birthday in the summer months is that instead of a plain ‘ol vanilla or chocolate cake, I usually was treated with an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen! It never really seems like my special day, without a grilled steak and an ice cream cake. But sometimes it wasn’t always convenient to drive to the local Dairy Queen to get my cake, so why not make it at home? This recipe for Copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake is as close to the real thing as you will ever get!

Start with a good quality ice cream.

I chose the classic chocolate and vanilla combo, but this recipe will work with whatever flavor you choose.

Whenever I have ice cream cake there is always a certain order I eat it in.

Strange. I know.

First the chocolate layer, than the vanilla layer, and saving the best for last – the fudge and “crunch” layer.

To ‘copycat’ Dairy Queen’s crunch layer, this recipe uses crushed up Oreo cookies and the convenience of store bought hot fudge ice cream topping.

Now I’m not a fancy cake decorator.

I usually fall into the category of satisfactory.

So a simple piped whipped cream and colored sprinkles are all that is necessary to finish this Copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake.

Adding a small amount of food coloring to the whipped cream, will give you a lovely color on the cake.

Like this lavender one!

But really the look isn’t as important as the taste.

And this ice cream cake, tastes like the real deal!

Copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake

Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 6
Author My Farmhouse Table

Ingredients

  • 1 quart Chocolate Ice Cream slightly thawed
  • 1 quart Vanilla Ice Cream slightly thawed
  • 8 Oreo Cookies
  • 1/2 cup Hot Fudge
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a spring form pan (I used a 9 inch), layer the chocolate ice cream in the bottom. Smooth and return to the freezer to slightly harden about 1-2 hours.

  2. Remove the cream filling from the Oreos and put the chocolate cookies into a bag. Smash the cookies in the bag until they are course crumbs. Pour cookie crumbs over chocolate ice cream and press in slightly. Pour the hot fudge (which may need to be slightly warmed so it is easier to work with) over the cookie crumbs and chocolate ice cream. Smooth and return to freezer for 1-2 hours until set. 

  3. Add vanilla ice cream over the top of the cake. Smooth and return to freezer 2-4 hours until completely set. 

  4. Make whipped cream for decorating by whipping together heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff. Use some of whipped cream to cover sides and top of cake to hide chocolate and fudge layer. With the remaining cream, decorate using a piping bag and tip. Finish cake with colored sprinkles on top.

Recipe Notes

Helpful Hints

*Cover the bottom of the spring form pan with plastic wrap. It helps in transferring the cake to a plate or platter for decorating and cutting.

*Use a hair dryer on a low setting and slowly move around the outside of the spring form pan once or twice before attempting to remove the cake for decorating. The heat helps to release the ice cream from the sides.

It’s that time of year… Seed starting! You kn It’s that time of year… Seed starting!

You know you’re a gardener if any of these gif’s and memes ring true to you too… Waiting for spring tests your patience that’s for sure, but buckets of blooms and produce make it worth it every time!
I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podc I’ve been a fan of Fr. Mike Schmitz and his podcasts (Bible in a Year) for a while, but I found this quote of his the other day and it was as though I had been hit over the head with a wooden spoon. 

How often are we happy in life just to survive? I get it life is ROUGH- survival mode is sometimes all we can handle in a season, but after I read this quote I thought to myself- am I living too small of a story? Sometimes yes, I get stuck in my routines. The edges, things that push me, things that scare me- it’s uncomfortable. I doubt myself and what I’m capable of… but He doesn’t.  I’m going to cling to that truth as I continue to grow my own story. ❤️

A lot like life, right?

Well, there’s one thing I’ve learned you can never grow if you don’t plant the seeds. So as we kick off a new year here’s your sign to plant the seeds in the areas of your life you want to see grow.

Faith. Relationships. Yourself. 

Sure you may fail more then you succeed, but you’ll never know if you don’t even start. ❤️ 

Thanks for sticking around for my unqualified TED talk 😜

As much as I dislike the idea of not going out into my garden every few days to pick these stunners for bouquets to fill my vases and jars, I am happy to say goodbye to weeding, watering, and that big spider in the cosmo patch that we mutually agreed to stay out of each others way and we both will be fine 😜

Also… shoutout to one of my favorite new finds on Insta… @philipbowenmusic on the strings (seriously this dude is super talented!)

I’ve enjoyed going through this experience with her, including random texts and Snapchats of hormonal cries, nesting episodes, and of course, food cravings- which is how the baby earned the nickname of “Scoops”.
