Description

Strawberry Chocolate Fantasy Ice Cream Cake is a luscious no-bake dessert featuring layers of creamy strawberry and chocolate ice cream atop a crunchy chocolate sandwich cookie crust, finished with whipped topping, chocolate syrup, fresh strawberries, and optional chocolate chips. Perfect for summer celebrations and a delightful treat for chocolate and berry lovers alike.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Ice Cream Layers

  • 1/2 gallon strawberry ice cream, softened
  • 1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream, softened

Toppings

  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup chocolate syrup
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, halved or sliced
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (optional)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even crust layer. Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the crust to set firmly.
  2. Add strawberry ice cream layer: Remove the crust from the freezer. Spread the softened strawberry ice cream evenly over the crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Return the pan to the freezer and let it freeze for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the strawberry layer is firm.
  3. Add chocolate ice cream layer: Next, spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the set strawberry layer. Smooth the top carefully and place the cake back into the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until completely frozen and set.
  4. Decorate the cake: Once fully set, top the ice cream cake with whipped topping or whipped cream. Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the top, then garnish with fresh halved or sliced strawberries and scatter mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings for an extra decorative touch, if desired.
  5. Serve: Remove the sides of the springform pan carefully. Let the cake sit at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes to soften slightly for easier slicing. Slice the cake into 12 servings and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Let the cake sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes before slicing for easier serving.
  • Customize this ice cream cake by swapping strawberry or chocolate ice cream for other flavors like vanilla, raspberry, or mint.
  • Store any leftovers tightly covered in the freezer for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
