Fun Dessert Recipes : The Best Homemade Oreo Ice Cream Cake Recipe

This week, I made a reel regarding a quick but yummy recipe for homemade frosting that was going on top of a deliciously decadent homemade ice cream cake.  I was in the process of helping my mom make a birthday cake for my brother when I realized that this special family tradition and recipe was one that called for both a tutorial and a feature on the blog, thus bringing you this latest read.

Growing up my mom, who I refer to as Little Ma, would make our ice cream crazed family a homemade ice cream cake on each birthday. These cakes were part of what made our birthday celebrations so special each year. Most of my friends were accustomed to the store bought ice cream cakes and don’t get me wrong those are delicious, but nothing beats this recipe!
