" Almost " Dairy Queen Blizzard Ice Cream Cake

"Just wait until you taste this, it is so easy to make and so good! The success of this cake will depend on the quality of ice cream that you use, so try to purchase the best, also try this using chocolate ice cream and mint Oreo cookies :) You can double this recipe but you will need a larger pan or make two pans! Plan ahead this needs time to freeze, prep time includes freezing time."

  1. This was really delicious and so easy to make. My son doesn't like chocolate so it's hard to find him pre-made ice cream cakes but who has time for making something from scratch these days? This took 30 minutes tops, not including freezing time - it would take more time to run out to the store and buy something :)<br/><br/>We used vanilla oreos - it took about 5 more oreos and 1 extra tbs of butter to get enough crust for a 13 x 9 pan. And we used a bit more than half of an 18 oz. package of cookies, broken up by hand since the food processor chopped them a bit too fine to mix in with the ice cream and cool whip then topped it with Skittles, and it was a huge hit. Even my husband loved it.
     
  2. Loved it, but I changed it just a bit!!! i made fudge brownies and did a small crust with them and a small brownie layer in the middle and it added just something extra special!!!!
     
  3. As a fomer DQ jockey I thought you may want to know that the key to making the inside of these cakes s to cote them in the DQ coating. the choco candy sell stuff is what i mean. You can buy it at the store, but all it is is flavored food grade parrifin wax
