Best Homemade Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake Recipes

COPYCAT DAIRY QUEEN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
• 2. Combine the Oreo crumbs and melted butter and stir until well combined. Spread the crumbs evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet.
• 3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then allow to cool. Use your fingers to break any big clumps into smaller ones. Set aside.
• 4. Line an 8×3 inch cake pan* with clear wrap that covers the bottom and goes above the sides of the cake pan. I used two pieces.
• 5. About 20 minutes before you need it, set the chocolate ice cream out to soften. Add the softened chocolate ice cream to the prepared cake pan and spread into an even layer. Freeze for 30 minutes.
• 6. To make the fudge layer, add the chocolate chips, corn syrup and vanilla extract to a medium sized bowl.
• 7. Heat the heavy whipping cream just until it begins to boil, then pour it over the chocolate chips. Allow to sit for 2-3 minutes, the whisk until smooth.
• 8. Remove the cake pan with the chocolate ice cream from the freezer, then pour the chocolate fudge over the ice cream and spread into an even layer. Freeze for about 10 minutes.
• 9. Add the cookie crumbles to the top of the fudge layer, then freeze for about 2 hours, until mostly firm.
• 10. About 20 minutes before you need it, set the vanilla ice cream out to soften. Add the vanilla ice cream to the top of the cake, then freeze until firm, 2-3 hours.
• 11. Use the clear wrap to lift the frozen cake out of the pan, then place it on a cardboard cake circle or a serving plate. Set it back in the freezer.
• 12. To make the whipped cream, add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract to a large mixer bowl. Whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
• 13. Frost the cake with the whipped cream and decorate as desired. I used Ateco tip 844 for piping the borders.
• 14. Freeze the cake until ready to serve. Cake is best when stored well covered and eaten within 4-5 days.

HOMEMADE DAIRY QUEEN ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Lightly butter a 9 inch springform pan.
• Spread the chocolate ice cream into an even layer in the bottom of the springform pan.
• Place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Spread the hot fudge sauce over the chocolate ice cream (if it had been chilled, you'll need to rewarm briefly), then sprinkle the chopped Oreo cookies, pressing lightly so that they adhere to the hot fudge.
• Return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
• Lastly dollop the vanilla ice cream over the chopped Oreos and gently spread into an even layer. Freeze for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• At least 1 hour and no more than 12 hours before serving, unmold the cake. To release the cake from the pan, invert the cake onto a plate or cardboard round the same size and wrap a hot kitchen towel around the cake pan, keeping it there for 30 seconds, or until the cake loosens, and slide the pan off.
• Remove the bottom of the pan. Top with a serving plate and turn the cake right side up. Return to the freezer for at least 10 minutes.
• While the cake is in the freezer, make the whipped cream. Combine the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a stand mixer.
• Using the whisk attachment, whip on medium high speed until the cream is light and fluffy and holds a medium to firm peak, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Spread the whipped cream on the cake, working quickly so that the ice cream doesn't melt. If it gets soft, just pop it back into the freezer for 5 minutes. Decorate with sprinkles on top, if desired.
• Remove the cake from the freezer 5 minutes before serving to soften it gently. A hot, dry knife will yield the cleanest cuts. Dip your knife in a glass of hot water, wipe it clean with a towel and cut a slice. Repeat between every slice.
