A no-bake, festive ice cream cake layered with crushed Oreos and patriotic red, white, and blue ice cream layers. Easy to make and perfect for summer celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 40 Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve some whole for garnish)
  • 1.5 quarts vanilla ice cream, softened
  • Blueberry puree or blue food coloring for blue layer
  • Fresh strawberries, finely chopped or red gel food coloring for red layer
  • 1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
  • 12 tablespoons sugar (optional, for sweetening whipped cream or strawberries)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan or springform pan with parchment paper or plastic wrap with overhang for easy removal.
  2. Crush Oreos using a food processor or plastic bag and rolling pin until a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks is achieved. Reserve 1-2 cups for garnish.
  3. Mix about 2 cups crushed Oreos with 1/4 cup softened vanilla ice cream to form a sticky crust. Press evenly into the bottom of the pan and freeze for 10 minutes.
  4. Mix 1/2 quart softened vanilla ice cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Spread evenly over the Oreo crust and freeze for 20 minutes.
  5. Mix 1/2 quart softened vanilla ice cream with chopped strawberries or red food coloring until vibrant. Spread over the white layer and freeze for 20 minutes.
  6. Mix remaining 1/2 quart softened vanilla ice cream with blueberry puree or blue food coloring. Spread as the final ice cream layer and freeze for 30 minutes.
  7. Whip 1 cup chilled cream with 1 tablespoon sugar until soft peaks form. Spread evenly over the frozen cake.
  8. Sprinkle reserved Oreo crumbs and optionally fresh berries on top. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight for best slicing.
  9. To serve, remove cake from pan using parchment overhang. Slice with a warm knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Let ice cream soften about 10 minutes before mixing for easier spreading. Freeze each layer thoroughly to keep colors distinct. Use a warm knife dipped in hot water for clean slicing. For dairy-free, substitute coconut milk-based ice cream and dairy-free whipped topping. For gluten-free, use gluten-free sandwich cookies.
