Description

This indulgent frozen dessert transforms simple Ho Ho cakes into a show-stopping centerpiece. By layering the chocolate-filled cakes with two distinct flavors of ice cream, crushed Oreos, and a generous drizzle of hot fudge, you create a texture and flavor profile reminiscent of a professional bakery sundae. The contrast between the soft cake, creamy ice cream, and crunchy cookie crumbs offers a delightful mouthfeel with every bite. Topped with fluffy Cool Whip and shaved chocolate, this treat is perfect for potlucks, holidays, or spontaneous dessert cravings. It requires no baking, just assembly and freezing time, making it an easy yet impressive option for any gathering.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the ice cream slightly for a few minutes to make it easier to spread, but ensure it remains solid enough to hold its shape.
  2. Cut all the Ho Ho cakes in half lengthwise to create flat layers.
  3. Line the bottom and sides of a 9x13 inch baking pan or glass dish with the Ho Ho cake halves, overlapping them slightly to form a crust-like barrier.
  4. Spread the first quart of ice cream evenly over the cake layer inside the pan.
  5. Sprinkle half of the crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the first layer of ice cream.
  6. Place the pan in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to firm up the first layer.
  7. Remove from the freezer and spread the second quart of ice cream over the cookie layer.
  8. Drizzle hot fudge sauce generously over the second layer of ice cream.
  9. Spread the Cool Whip evenly over the fudge and ice cream layers.
  10. Garnish the top with the remaining crushed Oreos and chocolate shavings.
  11. Freeze the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until completely firm before slicing and serving.

Note

Allow the dessert to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing to ensure clean cuts and a creamy texture.

Feel free to swap the ice cream flavors based on preference; vanilla and chocolate, or strawberry and chocolate, work beautifully.

For a richer topping, you can use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip.

Store in the freezer covered with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn and absorb odors.
