A 3 layer ice cream cake with an Oreo cookie base.
When I was a little girl growing up in rural East Coast Canada (a tiny village on Cape Breton Island, to be slightly more specific) we lived a 45-minute drive away from the nearest supermarket.
This meant that we did our big shopping trip once a month. It was an all day event. Our mother would take my younger brother and me through the mall stopping off at the craft section in Walmart, the pet store, and my favourite – the bookstore. Oh how I loved browsing through those books and, if I had saved up enough pennies, I’d buy myself a hardback Nancy Drew Mystery novel. Remember them, with their bright yellow covers?
Before all of this, we’d stop off at the local Dairy Queen restaurant for our lunch. If my mother taught me anything it was that you never do a supermarket shop when you’re hungry and even worse is bringing along your small children if they are hungry. Want to hear children nagging for everything in sight? Go ahead and take hungry kids into a supermarket.
At Dairy Queen we’d have a burger with fries for our lunch. Back then you were given, with your children’s meal, a small plastic grey Dairy Queen token you could exchange (then or at a later date) for a small ice cream sundae.
The exhilaration of walking up to the counter yourself as a small child and asking the server for your favourite flavour of ice cream and your chosen topping was something I remember with great fondness.
I also remember the giant freezers filled with ice cream cakes.
Those ice cream cakes were made with layers of flavoured ice cream and there was always a black crumbled biscuit layer which added texture to the cake. The tops of the cakes were decorated with piped icing, as a regular cake was, and oh my goodness gracious me they tasted fantastic.
I know this because I got to try one. Once.
Once.
Dairy Queen ice cream cakes were, in my financially constrained childhood, reserved with families with money. We had very little money, so we never had an ice cream cake. My best friend did once, and I got to taste hers.
The memory of that sweet cold ice cream cake with its crunchy black biscuit layer lingers with me in my adult years, 3000 miles away from the nearest Dairy Queen, and I’ve been longing to make one at home.
Inspiration struck recently, and so I created this – the one and only Cadbury Creme Egg recipe you will ever find on my blog – for your viewing (and tasting!) pleasure.
I bring you the Cadbury Creme Egg Ice Cream Cake! A google search yields zero results for such a creation, so I think I might be on to something new!
My recipe starts with a traditional Oreo cookie cheesecake crust – smashed up Oreo cookies mixed with melted butter and pressed into a cake tin. I used a silicone cake tin eight inches in diameter and three inches deep so the frozen cake would be the right shape and could be removed easily.
A quick and easy no churn condensed milk ice cream is divided into three and flavoured with chocolate, orange food colouring and Madagascar bourbon vanilla bean paste (my new favourite baking ingredient).
These layers, meant to resemble the layers of a Cadbury creme egg, are topped with a melted milk chocolate drizzle and some halved mini Cadbury creme eggs, and one regular sized egg.
It’s rather fantastic, wouldn’t you agree? Wait until you taste it…!
You’re welcome. x
Cadbury Creme Egg Ice Cream Cake
Ingredients
For the Oreo Cookie Base
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 57 grams butter melted
For the No Churn Ice Cream Layers
- 600 ml double cream
- 397 grams sweetened condensed milk tinned
- 3 tbsp cocoa powder
- orange food dye
- 1/2 tsp Madagascar bourbon vanilla bean paste
For the Chocolate Decorations
- 100 grams milk chocolate

Instructions
- To prepare the Oreo cookie base place the cookies into a plastic bag and bash them with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs. Alternatively, process in a food processor or blender until they reach the right consistency.
- Stir in the melted butter until well combined and press into the base of an 8 inch round silicone cake tin with a depth of 3 inches. Place in the refrigerator to set while you get on with the ice cream.
- Weigh the bowl you're going to make your ice cream in.
- To prepare the no churn ice cream, whip the double cream with a whisk until it becomes soft and pillowy and begins to hold its shape.
- Pour in the sweetened condensed milk and stir until combined.
- Weigh the bowl again, subtract the weight of the bowl and this is the weight of how much ice cream mixture you have. Divide this mixture into three separate bowls. Place two of them in the fridge.
- Sift the cocoa powder into the first bowl and whisk until thick and well combined. Spoon this mixture over the Oreo cookie base and level with the back of a spoon. Pop into the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut one of your mini Cadbury creme eggs in half so you can see the shade of orange the 'yolk' is. Add enough orange food colouring, a few drops at a time, whisking after each addition, until you reach the desired shade.
- Spoon this orange coloured ice cream over the chocolate ice cream, smooth with the back of a spoon and pop back into the freezer for 20 minutes.
- Add the vanilla to the remaining bowl of ice cream mixture, stir well and spoon over the orange ice cream layer. Leave for several hours to chill entirely, preferably overnight.
- Just before you want to serve your ice cream cake, melt the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl suspended over a pan of barely simmering water.
- Turn the silicone cake pan with your ice cream cake in it upside down and carefully roll down the edges of the cake tin to release the ice cream cake. Transfer right side up to a cake stand.
- Drizzle the melted milk chocolate around the outside top edge, allowing a little bit to drip down the sides.
- Drizzle some of the remaining milk chocolate in the centre of the ice cream cake so that there is enough melted chocolate there to hold a large Cadbury creme egg upright in the centre.
- Cut the remaining mini Cadbury creme eggs into half and arrange around the outside top edge of the ice cream cake, and place the large Cadbury creme egg in the centre.
- You can store the ice cream cake in the freezer until needed, without the Cadbury creme egg decorations (these freeze so that they are rock solid!). You can simply cut one slice at a time, leaving it to defrost 5-10 minutes to reach a softer consistency, or allow the whole cake to stand at room temperature for about 20 - 30 minutes before serving (if you can wait that long!)

After seeing the pictures on Instagram, its great to discover the recipe, it looks delicious. My husband bought me an ice cream cake for my 21st birthday, we were on holiday in Spain, needless to say the cake didn’t last long, we obviously had to eat the entire thing or it would melt! (well that’s my excuse anyway)
Wow that looks amazing, thanks so much for sharing this recipe!!!
I don’t like cRemember eggs, but I think you’re onto a winner with this cake! Fingers crossed you get endorsed for this brilliant idea! Xxx
I cannot stand Oreo cookies (long story, you don’t want to know) but I wouldn’t touch them with a bargepole. However this cake looks AMAZING. I would just keep posting pictures of it everywhere! Certainly pinterest perfect!
This cake is gorgeous! Dairy Queen holds a special place in my childhood as well so I’m feeling all the nostalgia!
It’s great to read a little about your childhood and experiences. The cake looks fab and hearing about the shopping and ice cream parlour reminds me of my youth too! Thanks for sharing and congrats on this amazing looking dessert! Be proud! It is awesome!
Oh good lord! This looks amazing, I can feel my diet slipping out the window haha, I want chocolate. Seriously though this is a wonderful recipe, your stuff is amazing x
This looks utterly incredible!! I am not a huge fan of creme eggs, but I would look past that for a slice of this! Love the advice re not shopping on an empty tummy too, we were also taught that! xx
This looks absolutely fantastic! I am almost drooling just looking at the pictures…
Wow. This looks amazing. I love all the different layers. I bet it would taste delicious!!
And I died by looking this. But now I live again to make this! So tempting yummy!
Oh wow, how beautiful does this look?! And I’m guessing it tastes wonderful as well. I’m such a creme egg fan and this cake looks like a complete dream. x

Have a nice day!

As someone who loves chocolate and ice cream…wouldn’t be making this just because I hate creme eggs and ice cream and I have a love/hate relationship.
I’m not a fan of creme eggs but this looks absolutely delicious! I am a big fan of ice cream cakes and so is my fussy daughter who prefers them to any other type of cake!
I would love to put this beauty out at Easter. Who could possibly not love it ?
I loved reading this post! I grew up close to a DQ but our family of 6 had to limit these types of treats. When my oldest brother played high school football, we’d drive to watch him and my parents would treat us to burgers and such. Good times. So different from my children’s childhood! Ice cream cakes?! I didn’t get those in my childhood either. My dad made ice cream for my birthday when I was in third grade. That was the highlight of the “party.” Ice cream. Also much different from the birthday parties of my daughters! I am so happy you are now able to enjoy ice cream cake!
Oh wow what a gorgeous looking cake. I loved ice cream cakes as a kid but have never made one. So making this.
You brought back a lot of memories for me as I was reading this post! I too went to DQ as a child, loved their ice cream cakes. My Nanny also love the cadbury creme eggs. She would have LOVED this cake!
Saw this on your Instagram feed and was really impressed! I love ice-cream cake and like you, it brings me back to my childhood. Im almost tempted to try this, although a bit worried because I’m no baking goddess like you obviously are! It just looks so pretty and I can imagine how delicious it also must be. Will save this post for future reference 😉 x
Oh my gosh this looks and sounds truly amazing ! I have never seen anything like this before, my daughter would love this. xx
Talk about the ultimate decadence, I want to jump through my screen and take a bite! Totally pinning 🙂 xo
This looks delicious! I’m so impressed at how perfect your chocolate drizzle on the edges is though!
Okay this is my type of cake! Yummy, I need this now!
This looks amazingly good. I don’t like Creme Eggs but my partner does and I’m thinking this would be great for his upcoming birthday
Oh my God! This looks incredible! I want it so badly! How did you make it so perfectly?
I love Dairy Queen. My hubby and I fell in love with it on a holiday in Florida. It was right next door to our hotel and we ended up stopping there every evening on the way home (unless it was late). They need to open one in the UK. ASAP!
Oh wow! this looks amazing! Thanks for showing us all how to make it x
You had me at cadbury! Oh my this looks out of this world, Cadbury creme egg, ice cream and cake… 3 of my favourite words!
How did you make this look so perfect?! Beautiful!
I used to LOVE getting a DQ ice cream cake, for someone like me that doesn’t really like regular cake, they were always what I requested for my birthday. your cake i just lovely
You’re dripping chocolate is absolutely perfect around this cake! So pretty and festive for Easter! And anything with Cadbury’s I just can’t get enough of!
Wow! This looks rather fabulous…I love your story about your monthly shopping trip as a child, I have so many little memories like that…trips which as adults seem rather mundane but as children they were exciting and full of anticipation and memories. Thanks for sharing. Eb x
This sounds and looks absolutely amazing! I have already eaten many cream eggs since they came back in the shops. x
Oh for goodness sake – I just put on 10lb looking at this! It is truly gorgeous – I LOVE Creme Eggs, I am salivating now! Stunning – you are so clever. Kaz x
I love the look of this Cream egg cake for Easter and I really want to try and make it myself.

I can’t resist ! Definitely want to try this. Pics are brilliant.
Oh my god this actually looks AMAZING! And it doesn’t look too hard to make either, I’ll have to give it a go!
What a great looking cake, Cream Eggs were an absolute favourite of mine as a child and could never wait for this time of the year when they would once again start appearing in the shops!
What a beautiful story. I love reading about childhood memories of food! And that cake, wow!, looks so gorgeous! (and yes, I have been there – the book store visit and eyeing a copy of Nancy Drew!)
Oh wow this looks amazing! Ice cream cake is such a fun idea!
Oh my gosh, wow! This cake looks absolutely INCREDIBLE!! Great one for easter! xxx

I have been sharing this on a few social media sites all day and every time I see those images I just think ‘wow’. It looks absolutely stunning and sounds delicious. I don’t know if I’ll ever get the time to try it (and it will never look as good as yours!) but am bookmarking to try when I get the time!
I saw this cake the other day and have been thinking about it ever since! I think that’s a sign I must make it.
Wow I love this cake just amazing for Easter time I can see myself baking this.
Oh my goodness Elizabeth, I think this is the best cake I have ever seen! Ive also pinned it on Pinterest x
Oh my goodness me, this looks incredible. I also like the idea that you probably couldn’t eat more than one slice!
What a stunning beauty you have here, Elizabeth!! Though I’m more of a Cadbury Caramel kind of girl, I’d eat this one in a heartbeat! Gorgeous shots, by the way!
This looks awesome, I must try it
My favorite Easter candy on a glorious ice cream cake. I need a slice.

Can I come to your place for a decoration lesson. Wow, this cake is awesome, I’m in love!!!!
The internet is overrun with creme egg recipes at the moment, but I haven’t seen this one before. My hisband loves creme eggs and ice cream, so this sounds perfect for him.
Oh my goodness this cake is perfection!
Hnng! This looks incredible! Pinning it to see if I can make my own. Love the story behind it too 🙂 x
I didn’t know ice cream cake existed! This looks amazing. Perfect for Easter.
Sweet jesus this is like everything my dreams are made of in cake form! 😮 x
This is just incredible! Wow! Perfect for Easter – or Mondays 😉 I love how you’ve done the chocolate icing on top. Decoration is just perfect. Were the eggs hard to half? I love creme eggs, they’re my favourite thing about Spring/Easter.
Haha, I love that! Ice cream cake just because it’s Monday. The eggs were easy enough to halve with a sharp knife, yes. Thanks for stopping by!
This is insane! Looks so yummy and decadent! I’ve yummed and pinned.
Aw thank you so much! Much appreciated 🙂
Oh my goodness this sounds amazing, I’ve been staying away from creme eggs since the recipe change but I would totally try this! x

Thank you! It’s really easy to make. I’d love to see a photograph of yours if you do make it!
there is nothing to say but oh my god looks amazing and do you take orders
Haha! I think it might be melted before it gets off my rural island, lol! You’ll just have to make your own. It’s really simple to make. 🙂
OMG!!!! How absolutely scrummy and beautiful does this look! yum! i would love to try a slice x
Aw thanks Jenny! You should try making your own – it’s dead simples! 🙂
The recipes sounds delicious, I never tried to make ice cream with condensed milk, so I will have to try it.
Condensed milk ice cream is the simplest no churn ice cream you can make. So easy and it’s so lovely, creamy and chewy too.
Elizabeth you never fail to make me drool and this is a concoction that screams Easter! I love Easter because its chocolate season!
Aw thanks Ana! 😀 Yes, we love the abundance of chocolate this time of year too!
Wow, this cake looks phenomenal! I never had ice cream cake at home either, when I was growing up, so perhaps I should start making up for lost time now! The chocolate drips down the side of the cake look PERFECT.
I definitely agree. Ice cream cakes are the way forward! We both have catching up to do! 😀
It looks absolutely amazing! Its lunch time here now and I feel like having dessert :).
It’s never too early for ice cream cake. 😉
Ohhhh wow! Cadbury Crème Egg cake?! We need some of that here, and I know the two smalls of the house would absolutely LOVE that! 🙂
It’s a really simple recipe to make despite looking so fancy – honest! You should give it a go! 😀
Oh my goodness. I really, really need to make this! It sounds and looks amazing. I’m not the greatest at baking but I think I could do this. I’m going to pin this image and then make it with my children closer to Easter, thank you so much for sharing! xx
It’s no bake! 🙂 No cooking whatsoever required, simply mixing melted butter with crumbs, and a bit of whisking. 🙂
Oh wow Elizabeth, this looks epic! I used to read about Dairy Queens in my teen American novels and I love that you explain what it was like. I was also a huge Nancy Drew fan. So impressed by this cake – we have an ice cream business and customers who would no doubt fight over this although we are yet to start making ice cream cakes. Sharing this everywhere!
Aw thanks! You definitely should start making ice cream cakes with your ice cream business – I bet they’d be a huge hit!
Oh I do agree, most definitely fantastic. I think you’re onto a real winner there. You were and still are one up on me, I’ve never tried an ice-cream cake. And now the only one I ever want to try is yours. How very clever of you to get the creme egg effect and to so artfully drizzle that chocolate down the sides. Thanks for linking to one of my recipes and thanks also for sharing this fantabulous creation with #WeShouldCocoa.
Aw thank you for your lovely comment! Thanks for hosting such a great blogging linky too. 🙂
Your DQ (and Walmart) trips bring back memories. I don’t think we ever ate a meal there, but I do remember the thrill of the first spoon of a hot fudge sundae. With salted peanuts. However, I remember eating ice cream cakes at birthday parties, and that will I or won’t I get brain freeze moment on the first chilly bite. You’ve brought back some nice memories. And this looks really delightful, Elizabeth. Your styling and photography just gets better and better.
DQ isn’t really renowned for their burgers, are they! Ice cream, all the way! 🙂 So glad you enjoyed my post Kellie, and thank you for your lovely comments xx
Whhhhhhaaaaatttttt. So many yesses for this recipe. Those chocolate drips are perfection btw, and how did you get that layering so smooth! #veryjealous 😛
Haha, thank you so very much for making me smile! I weighed the mixture out so each layer had the same number of grams, then smoothed each layer with the back of a spoon.
Wow, Elizabeth, this is spectacular! Loving the idea (I’m an ice cream fiend) and the finished cake looks just gorgeous!
Aw thank you Kavey!
I love your ice cream cake Elizabeth and it wonderful to ee-create something you’ve only ever tasted once from your childhood. Those tastes never leave you and I too have had fun re-creating memories like this! Thank you for linking to my Brownies:-)
Thanks Camilla 🙂 I have no idea if it’s an accurate representation, but it’s the closest to what I can remember. 🙂
I NEEDS this in my life!! It looks absolutely delicious. Getting ingredients later 🙂
Fantastic! I’d love to see a photo if you do make it 🙂
Oh my goodness! This looks out of this world. I have a little boy that would love this so will need to try it out. I bet it won’t look anywhere near as outstanding as your one though. Thanks for sharing 🙂
I think you might surprise yourself if you do make it. It’s so easy to make! 🙂 I’d love to see a photo if you do make it!
This ice cream cake sounds and looks AMAZING! I love ice cream cakes, and I love creme eggs. This is just perfect Elizabeth!
Aw thanks Diana! 😀
What a lovely cake.. with all my fav ingredients in it.. i cant have enough of this.. i could gobble up the entire thing in one sitting
This looks so amazing!!! I wish I was there so I could eat some!
It’s a really simple recipe to make – you could be just a mere hours away from your own ice cream cake! 😉
I want to drop EVERYTHNG and make myself this cake. My gosh it looks good.
Heehee, thanks Bintu! You should make one! 😀
Stunning cake!! Looks fantastic. I love Cadbury Chocolate! Great recipe for Easter:D
Thank you so very much 🙂
I love creme egg and your cake looks so beautiful and lovely! The fact that it is an ice cream cake just make it even better! Cheers~~
Thank you! 🙂
Exquisitely executed; this cake looks too wonderful to eat. Of course that would not stop me. Fantastic job!
Aw thanks!
I am not a creme egg fan at all, but your ice cream cake looks so delicious I would try it… and I’m pretty sure I would love it, too! #RecipeoftheWeek
They’re not my most favourite sweet in the world either, but they do look rather impressive! 🙂
Um yea, this looks incredible (to say the least)! Cadbury eggs were my favorite growing up and no you just had to go put it on an oreo cake! Thanks a lot 🙂
Heehee, you’re welcome! 😀
Ohhh wow, this looks incredible!! I’d never be able to get the layers so neat :/
I think you’d surprise yourself – weighing out the mixture and dividing into three is half the battle. 🙂
Oh my word, what a cake!! Just perfection – A++ for your chocolate sauce drizzling technique. Love the colours, and the creme eggs of course. Love it. (And I LOVED Nancy Drew too, huge fan!).
Thank you so very much! I do miss reading those Nancy Drew books. I don’t think they’d have the same effect now though – but I spent many a childhood summer with my nose stuck in them!
What a lovely story, Elizabeth. My memory of ice cream cakes was Baskin Robbins in the early 80s in Glasgow. It was so exotic for us, never seen anything like it. Your Creme Egg cake is amazing, beautifully finished.
Thank you so very much Janice. So glad you liked the back story! I never had a Baskin Robbins cake, but I bet they were super too!
Wow. Just WOW! Absolutely stunning and love the Dairy Queen story.
Aw thanks Claire – glad you liked 🙂
Ooh yes please, I’ve never had an ice cream cake (where have I been?) but this looks wonderful. Loving the drips around the edges too.
Thanks Lucy – I can’t believe ice cream cakes aren’t as popular as they could be!
I think I’ve just passed out. This is Easter cake perfection. It looks so absolutely wonderful. As a fellow Canadian who knows the lure of the DQ ice cream cake, this is something that I have to make my kids. In fact it just may be my son’s birthday cake.
Thank you so very much! I’m so glad there’s someone else who understands the lure of the DQ cakes! 😀 I’d love to see a photo if you make it!
