A homemade Dairy Queen ice cream cake
- butter
Mix the crushed Oreos with a little melted butter until coated; spread on a baking tray.
- vanilla ice cream
- chocolate ice cream
Soften the vanilla ice cream about 20 minutes, mix in a bowl to an even texture, and spread into the pan into the corners with a spatula or palette knife.
Spreading the vanilla layer
Soften the chocolate ice cream about 15 minutes, mix smooth, and spread on top, pushing it into the layer below so there are no gaps; bang on the counter to settle.
The chocolate layer
- heavy whipping cream
- powdered sugar
Whip the heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar to stiffer-than-usual peaks for decorating.
Lift out by the cling wrap and invert so the vanilla is on top; cover top and sides with the cream quickly before it melts, saving some.
Unmoulding, inverting and frosting

Pipe rosettes on top, set a maraschino cherry on each and add sprinkles; freeze at least 30 minutes more.
