Homemade Ice Cream Cake

My all time favorite cookie is Oreos. I love separating the cookie and eating the icing then the cookie yummmm. Brings back childhood memories. My second favorite dessert is Oreo ice cream, the more cookies the better. My cousin Dominique from Charleston made this ice cream cake for us and I absolutely loved it. I was blown away how easy it was to make. The price of an ice cream cake can run you $20 or more at your local ice cream shop. This recipe will cost you about $7 or less depending if you are A Shopping Savvy Diva taking advantage of coupons and sales.
