How to Make Copycat Dq Ice Cream Cake

  1. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to help with lifting.
  2. Soften 1 (1.5 quart) container of your favorite ice cream flavor. Spread evenly in the prepared pan to a depth of about 1 inch.
  3. Sprinkle 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the ice cream layer.
  4. Heat 1 cup hot fudge topping in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and pourable. Let cool slightly.
  5. Drizzle the cooled hot fudge sauce over the Oreo layer.
  6. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.
  7. Fifteen minutes before serving, soften a second (1.5 quart) container of a different ice cream flavor.
  8. Spread the softened ice cream evenly over the fudge layer, smoothing the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  9. Return to the freezer for at least 30 minutes to allow the top layer to firm up.
  10. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup softened vanilla ice cream with 1 cup thawed frozen whipped topping. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
  11. Frost the cake with the vanilla ice cream mixture.
  12. Return to the freezer for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set slightly.
