Birthday Cake Oreo Coffee Ice Cream

Coffee Oreo ice cream is delicious and birthday cake ice cream is delicious. But the two are combined in this Birthday Cake Oreo Coffee Ice Cream, along with lots of rainbow sprinkles, for the best ice cream ever! 

The ability to purchase seven pounds of sprinkles without stepping foot out of my house is pretty much my favorite thing about Amazon. I purchased a seven pound containe back in March to create my sprinkles lamp and have looked for every opportunity to cook and bake with sprinkles since then.

In the midst of dreaming up this coffee Oreo ice cream (my favorite flavor in all the world!), I stumbled upon Birthday Cake Oreo cookies and my necessity for sprinkles treats was multiplied.

Despite the fact that it was one degree out this morning, I'm sharing a coffee ice cream recipe. I truly believe that ice cream is a year-round treat and should be enjoyed just as often in the winter cuddled under a blanket as it is in the summer out in the sunshine.

🍦 How to make birthday cake Oreo coffee ice cream

Coffee ice cream has been my favorite for as long as I can remember, even back before I drank coffee. The only time I'll veer from it is when I'm craving Oreo ice cream (or if coffee heath bar is on the menu!), so why not combine the two and call it a day?

And if you have the opportunity to give anything in life a birthday cake flair, I say go for it!

This is a pretty basic ice cream, consisting of a milk and cream mixture (and in this case, espresso!) with eggs tempered in (a custard-based ice cream).

Oh, but when you're almost done processing it in your ice cream maker, you'll add in two very important components: Birthday Cake Oreos and rainbow sprinkles. The hardest part about this easy ice cream recipe is all the time you need to wait while it chills.

This ice cream is so delicious that I'm pretty sure you could have tempted me to eat it while I was walking to the train this morning. You know, when it was one degree and I had fleece-lined leggings under my pants, a blanket scarf wrapped around my face,  and my whole head basically covered in a fur hood.

But still. I'm really not sure I could have turned down this coffee birthday cake Oreo ice cream. Even if my hands fell off from frostbite. WORTH IT.

I've made coffee ice creams before, but this time I added a bit more espresso for a deeper, more robust flavor. In my mind, there's no such thing as too much coffee (or caffeine!

There's also no such thing as too many sprinkles, which is why I added more to the ice cream, despite the fact that the Oero cookies already involved rainbow confetti.

If you're celebrating a coffee lover's birthday, this is the perfect party ice cream for them.

But it certainly doesn't need to be someone's birthday to enjoy this treat. Birthday cake flavored desserts and sprinkles-packed desserts can and should be enjoyed all of the time.

And please, even if you don't want to make this ice cream, you really need to try Birthday Cake Oreos immediately. They are so freaking good!
