Ingredients
  

Golden Oreo and sprinkle crust
  • 24 Golden Oreos Crushed.
  • 0.25 cup rainbow sprinkles Plus extra for covering.
  • 6 tbsp butter Melted.
Ice cream layer and topping
  • 0.5 gallon cake batter or vanilla ice cream Soften until spreadable.
  • 0.75 cup rainbow sprinkles Fold into softened ice cream (from divided amount).
  • 2 cup whipped cream For covering crust and sprinkles.
  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles Divided: 1/4 cup for crust, 3/4 cup in ice cream, remainder for covering if needed.

Equipment

  • 1 springform pan

Method
 

Make and freeze the crust
  1. Combine crushed Golden Oreos, 1/4 cup rainbow sprinkles, and melted butter, then press firmly into a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Freeze for 15 minutes to set the crust.
Assemble the ice cream layer
  1. Fold 3/4 cup rainbow sprinkles into softened cake batter or vanilla ice cream, then spread the ice cream over the frozen crust.
  2. Freeze for 4 hours until firm.
Top with whipped cream and sprinkles
  1. Cover the top and sides with whipped cream to seal the ice cream layer.
  2. Cover every visible surface with the remaining rainbow sprinkles, pressing lightly so they adhere.
  3. Freeze for 2 more hours before releasing the springform pan and slicing.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, run warm water over the outside of the springform pan for 10–15 seconds before releasing, then slice with a hot knife. Keep leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 2–3 days (best texture within 1–2 days). Freezing is yes—freeze assembled cake up to 1 month wrapped tightly. For a lighter option, use whipped topping made with reduced-fat ingredients or swap in a lower-sugar vanilla ice cream.
