Can I Make My Own Strawberry Sauce?

Of course! Making your own sauce is a bit more work, but just as tasty! Here is a great recipe for a quick strawberry sauce. (I say quick, but you need to allow it to fully cool before adding to the strawberry ice cream cake.) It is basically the same as my strawberry jam recipe , minus the lemon juice and cooked for less time. 12 oz fresh or frozen strawberries (coarsely chopped) 1/3 cup granulated sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Combine the strawberries and sugar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir the vanilla extract. Once cool, use a blender or food processor and process till smooth. An optional step would be to press the strawberry sauce through a fine-mesh strainer to remove the seeds. Leftovers can be placed in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 weeks.

Can I Use Regular Oreos Instead Of Golden Oreos?

Of course! The regular chocolate Oreos would be delicious too! This is really more of a personal preference as I love the Golden Oreos and when planning this recipe, I imagined the flavor of the Golden Oreos would \"blend\" better with strawberry than regular Oreos and it keeps the overall flavor a little lighter.

Can I Use Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream?

You definitely can (and I have an amazing homemade strawberry ice cream recipe you could use.) But I actually recommend using a premium store-bought strawberry ice cream . Homemade ice creams melt faster and you'll want this cake to hold its shape, so you can cut and serve before it gets too melty.

Can This Strawberry Ice Cream Cake Be Made Ahead Of Time?

This Ice Cream Cake is a great dessert to make ahead of time . Since the ice cream does need time to re-harden, it's perfect for when hosting guests. You can put the cake layers together the day before, toss it in the freezer, and it'll be ready to serve when the guests arrive! If stored in an airtight container, this strawberry ice cream cake can be frozen for up to 2 months.
