Golden Oreo Cake Batter Frozen {Greek} Yogurt

I love birthday cake.

Well, I love delicious birthday cake. Obviously. Because not all birthday cake is created equal.

And I really love ice cream birthday cake. Which I experienced for the first time a couple of years ago at an office party for someones over-the-hill celebration. I fell in love. 

I mean birthday cake and ice cream is a classic, fantastic combination and always will be. Which is why  it's become a widely practiced tradition and keeps making an appearance year after year.

But birthday cake ice cream... birthday cake and ice cream all rolled into one delicious dessert?? 

Now that is cause for celebration.

What's even better about this dessert is that it is a greek yogurt version.

Raise your hand if you're bordering on obsession with greek yogurt.

Good, I'm not alone. (You may put your hands down now.)

All you need to do is stick a candle in the top of this goodness and you've got the best birthday treat imaginable. 

Or anyday treat. Cause really, my birthday isn't for a few months. And I sort of need this in my present life. 

And while we're on the subject of birthday candles, tell me, do you blow out the candles before or after you sing "Happy Birthday"?

Because it wasn't until I was in college that I realized all of the world did not blow out the candles and then sing the song. 

Isn't that how it's supposed to go? Make a wish, spit all over the cake while trying to extinguish the teeny flames all in one breath, and then break out into an off-key chorus while the birthday VIP avoids the awkward attention by focusing on pulling each candle out of the cake and licking the frosting off? 

That's how we do it at our house. 

And I was basically shocked to find out that anyone did it differently.

I got that whole panicked-oh my gosh they're doing it wrong-pit in my stomach. 

Yeah, we're serious about birthdays around here. Gotta do it right.

This frozen yogurt though, it's ah-mazing.

The Hubby doesn't care for greek yogurt so the slight tang wasn't his thing, which is fine by me!  I'm happy to devour this stuff alllll by my lonesome. 

And I did. 

In about 48 hours. 

Maybe less.

And then I made it again.

It was that good.

After that first episode I made a couple more batches to see if I could "healthify" it a bit.  Both the second and third attempts were scrumptious and indeed, healthier. 

I used less oreos, no sweetener, less cake batter mix... not quite as jaw-dropping as the recipe I've shared with you, but definitely yummy. And both batches disappeared just as quicly as the first. 

But since there's greek yogurt in it, it's already a way better option than regular ice cream right? 

Sure it is. 

So do yourself a favor and don't be stingy with that cake mix and the oreos. They are soooo worth it.

My favorite part was getting a big chunk of that oreo that had softened a bit in the freezing process so it was almost like sinking my teeth into a real bite of cake. . . 

Okay now I need some. Good thing I already bought the stuff to make another batch. I'm thinking these items might have to become staples in my kitchen. The oreos and such, just for this frozen yogurt. 

It's official.

I'm hooked.
