A festive and easy-to-make ice cream cake featuring crunchy Oreo layers and fresh red, white, and blue berries, perfect for summer gatherings and patriotic celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 quarts (1.4 liters) vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups (about 20) Oreo cookies, roughly crushed but still chunky
  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Extra whole Oreos and berries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos roughly (about 20 cookies). Mix the crumbs with melted butter until the mixture holds together when pressed. Press half of this mixture firmly into the bottom of your loaf pan. Chill the crust in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
  2. Scoop about half of the softened vanilla ice cream (approx. 3 cups or 720 ml) over the Oreo crust. Spread evenly with a spatula, making sure to cover the entire surface. Place sliced strawberries on top of the ice cream layer, distributing them evenly.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining Oreo crumb mixture over the strawberries carefully. Press gently to form a layer but don’t compact it too much.
  4. Spread the remaining vanilla ice cream over the Oreo crumbs. Smooth the top with a spatula. Scatter fresh blueberries evenly over this layer.
  5. Cover the entire pan tightly with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  6. Before serving, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  7. Remove the cake from the freezer 10-15 minutes before slicing to soften slightly. Spread the whipped cream over the top, garnish with whole Oreos and extra berries.

Notes

Use softened but still firm ice cream for easier layering. Press Oreo crumb layers gently to maintain crunch. Whip cream to soft peaks for best texture. Freeze overnight for best results. Use a warm knife to slice cleanly. Line pan with parchment paper for easier removal.
