I’m sharing all the inside secrets to creating your very own Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake that is every bit as yummy as the original. You’ll be shocked by how easy and inexpensive it is to make your own!
Copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake
I Love Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake! The problem is, it’s fairly expensive and not everyone lives near a Dairy Queen. I’ve perfected the way to create it at home using this copycat DQ Ice Cream Cake recipe. I’ve picked up a few tips along the way from former DQ employees who were willing to share their secrets. Here is the recipe I’ve used quite a few times, to recreate the goodness!
What You Need
Here’s what you need to get started, creating a totally awesome ice cream cake at home:
1 Regular Size Package Oreo Cookies or Store Brand Chocolate Cookies
1 Quart Container Vanilla Ice Cream (or flavor of your choice)
1 Quart Container Chocolate Ice Cream (or flavor of your choice)
1 Cup Chocolate Syrup, Hot Fudge or Magic Shell (enough to coat crumbs and turn into a thick “goo” that is easily spreadable) *Try this:Smucker’s Magic Shell Chocolate Topping
Once you’ve gathered the appropriate supplies and ingredients, here is what you do:
I started withvanilla and chocolate ice cream, but it’s up to you to use whatever flavors you like!
Begin by letting the ice cream soften just a tad so it is workable but not soupy and melted (it’s an art to achieve the best consistency). Butter the bottom and sides of your pan, then spread a thin layer of vanilla ice cream on the bottom and sides, all the way to the top. Refreeze for a few minutes to harden this layer before moving onto the next.
Spread a layer of chocolate ice creamto fill the pan half way up, then refreeze.
Fill a plastic bag with Oreo cookies (or store brand), and use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs. You may also try putting them in a food grater or blender. The smaller the crumbs the better! Mix the crumbs with chocolate syrup and spread over chocolate ice cream.
Spread a layer of vanilla ice cream over the crumbs, then cover and freeze.
Let set out for a few minutes then scrape the sides with a rippled orridgedspatula to create a lined look. Put back in the freezer to refreeze.
Mix equal parts whipped topping and ice cream and spread over top. Cover and put back in freezer. Let thaw forapproximately10 minutes before attempting to cut.
I used the remaining Oreos to sprinkle on top. If you want to write anything on top, I would suggest waiting until ready to serve and use a tube of cream decorators icing, not a jell.

How long is a DQ ice cream cake good for? In the freezer it should keep indefinitely, but it can get freezer burn or pick up the tastes of other stuff in the freezer, so it's not a good idea to leave it too long. It would still be edible but it would taste bad.
Many cake designs allow you to personalize colors, add photos, and more. Orders can be picked up 24-72 hours after placed. Make any occasion a special occasion with a DQ® Cake. Find a nearby store by clicking the link below!
Take the store-bought ice cream out of the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes. This will allow it to soften slightly and make it easier to work with. Once the ice cream has softened, transfer it to a mixing bowl.
What is the best type of frosting for your ice cream cake? Should you go with buttercream or a simple whipped cream? With ice cream cakes, traditional buttercream may harden excessively, especially when frozen or refrigerated. You're better off with whipped cream, but not just any old whipped cream.
