Method
Prep the Oreo Crust
- Start by crushing the gluten-free Oreos into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing them with a rolling pin.
- Combine the crumbs with melted butter and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Freeze for 15–20 minutes to allow the crust to set.
Hot Fudge Layer
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, sugar, and chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and add the vanilla extract.
- Allow the hot fudge to cool slightly before pouring a generous layer over the chilled Oreo crust.
- Return to the freezer and let it firm up for about 20 minutes.
Chocolate Ice Cream Layer
- Slightly soften the chocolate ice cream, then spread it evenly over the hot fudge layer.
- Return the cake to the freezer for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
Vanilla Ice Cream Layer
- Slightly soften the gluten-free vanilla ice cream and carefully spread it over the chocolate ice cream layer.
- Freeze the cake for 4–6 hours or overnight for best results.
Homemade Whipped Cream
- While the cake is freezing, prepare the homemade whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Store in fridge until ready to use the next day. This will allow it to get stiffer and be easier to work with.
Frost the Ice Cream Cake
- Once the ice cream layers are fully set, remove the cake from the freezer. Frost the top and sides of the cake with your homemade whipped cream.
- For extra flair, decorate with crumbled gluten-free Oreos and a drizzle of any leftover hot fudge.
- Return the cake to the freezer for at least an hour to let everything set.
