You’ll love this homemade Oreo Ice Cream Cake recipe. This allergen friendly homemade ice cream cake is made with crunchy Oreo Sandwiches, smooth vanilla ice cream, a fantastic homemade chocolate ganache, creamy coco whip and some amazing chocolate ice cream.

Recently a friend told me about her love for Dairy Queen ice cream cakes. And she didn’t spare any details in her infatuation with them.

Listening to her immediately gave me flashbacks to years ago. When I was in my teens, DQ ice cream cakes ruled.

So ice cream cakes and I were a thing. Honestly, they made the best birthday cakes. And as a kid it was the biggest perk to having a summer birthday!

However, when I said goodbye to gluten and dairy, I also said goodbye to DQ ice cream cakes.

Or so I thought.

This homemade gluten and dairy free Oreo ice cream cake is delicious, y’all. As in absolutely mouthwatering.

Not only is this Oreo ice cream cake a dream come true, but especially for those with food allergies.

ice cream cake ingredients

• vanilla bean dairy free ice cream— So Delicious tastes wonderful and we also recommend Nada Moo
• chocolate or dark chocolate ice cream— (again So Delicious works well)
• gluten and dairy free Oreo sandwich cookies— Kinnikinnick Kinni-Toos brand is also nut, soy, and peanut free. Or you can use the Gluten Free Oreos. Another option is the Glutino brand cookies or Oreo’s gluten free cookies.
• classic organic coconut milk-use this canned kind. It helps set best.
• dairy free dark chocolate chips- Enjoy Life and Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious have a gluten and dairy free brand. Their chocolate chips are also egg, nut, soy, and peanut free.
• so Delicious Coco Whip— thawed and refrigerated so it’s ready to spread easily.
• light corn syrup— optional and if you use it, we recommend this.

helpful cake making tools

• cake plate— using a cake plate really helps make cutting and enjoying this cake easier.
• angled icing spatula— using one of these helps to easily spread and smooth each layer. It’s any cake maker’s game changer.
• spring form pan— using this helps get the cake out easier.
• saran wrap-or Glap Wrap Press N Seal really helps make this easy to pop out of the springform pan.

recipe notes and tips

• using a 10 inch cheesecake springform pan will make this Oreo ice cream cake turn out perfectly round like a cake. A 10 inch round cake pan also works.
• next an angled icing spatula is helpful with this recipe. You’ll use it for several layers of this cake. I also use this spatula with several other recipes. It is a lifesaver.
• it’s helpful to cover sides of the pan with Glad Press’n Seal Plastic Food Wrap.
• importantly, place the vanilla and chocolate ice cream pints on the counter top to thaw well before you need them. I find dairy free ice cream requires more time to soften.
• keep in mind this mouthwatering homemade ganache can be used for other recipes too!
• lastly, this ice cream cake can be made a day or two ahead of time. Woot woot for all you early birds who like to get the worm.
