Oreo Heath Cake: Delicious vanilla cake packed with big oreo chunks covered in vanilla frosting and topped with chopped Heath bars. INSANELY delish!
Once you try this cake you will be ruined for all others!
This cake is 100% inspired by my favorite blizzard from Dairy Queen.
It is an Oreo Heath Blizzard with no hot fudge. They add hot fudge to the Heath Blizzards, and it is very important to specify that you do not want that fudge. It takes away from the glorious Oreo flavor.
I have been ordering it for about six years now. I crave it in the winter. I dream of it in the summer.
And as I was driving home from DQ enjoying my favorite concoction, I realized.
I need to make this a cake.
White cake with Oreo chunks, vanilla frosting, and chopped up Heath bar toppings.
Real Oreo chunks. I used about 30 cookies (or two rows in a package) and hand chopped each cookie into four pieces. No fine grate here!
I took one cup of frosting and added 1/2 cup of Heath chips for the frosting between the layers of cake.
I bought a bag of Heath bars a did a rough chop for the topping.
Things I might do differently:
Add more Oreo. Lots more. Maybe even some in the frosting too.
Try it as chocolate Oreo cake instead of white.
Use a vanilla Swiss Meringue buttercream icing. I think a more subtle sweetness would compliment the Oreo and Heath better.
This cake is delicious as is, but I can’t wait to make it again with the alterations.
And trust me, I will be making this again. I will make it my mission to perfect this recipe.
That is just the kind of sacrifices I will make for you.
And if you happen to love Oreo and Heath as much as I do, well… do you recommend any good workouts?
This looks so yummy!
As for the workouts, I really enjoy Leslie Sansone. Her ‘Walk Away the Pounds’ series is great, low impact and is done in your home. (meaning you dont have to wait for a nice day to do it). If you have cable, sometimes you can find her On Demand in the exercise section for free to try it out. 😉
I use this SMBC recipe and it’s perfect every time: http://www.howtoeatacupcake.net/2008/02/face-your-smbc-fears.html
There’s even a handy video! My trick here in the hot-and-humid-south is to keep a few ice packs or bags of frozen veggies around the bowl while the mixer is going…works every time! My family loves this and it’s become our go-to special occasion cake frosting!
I loooooove Heath bars. I loooooove Oreos. Therefore, I must LOVE this cake. It’s just beautiful, Amanda. I definitely think chocolate cake would be divine too. Maybe chocolate mayonnaise cake? It would totally play off the buttery flavor in the Heath.

Hi, do you use the Oreo cookies with the filling, or just the cookies? For the frosting, what kind do you use? I love all your cakes!!!
Um, yeah, so…I want to write that you are amazing, this looks amazing…but I *always* right that! 😉 So, I’m gonna say…WOW. And I think I NEED this. Right after I run over to DQ and order one of those Blizzards. (You = not a good influence)
And RHoNY!!! I *just* started DVRing this a few weeks ago. I’m a little lost, but at least I can tell them all apart now.
SMBC…Gail has a great recipe/post on her blog…and I just used the one from the Martha Stewart Cupcakes book. Really good.
What an amazing cake! Oreo and Heath bars.. can’t wait to make this.

I’d try it with a layer of Bluebell cookies n’ cream icecream in the middle.
Oh my… This looks AMAZING. I’m really hungry now (even though I just ate lunch)!
