Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get started on this delicious Oreo Ice Cream Cake Delight! First, I like to prep my pan by lining the bottom with parchment paper and lightly greasing the sides. This helps in releasing the cake later without any fuss. Next, I take about 20 Oreo cookies and crush them into fine crumbs—this is where a food processor comes in handy, but you can also put them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Once they’re crumbly, I mix in the melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Then, I press this mixture firmly into the bottom of my springform pan to create a solid crust.
