Description

This Oreo Icebox Cake is a no-bake, creamy dessert featuring layers of whole Oreo cookies and fluffy whipped cream, chilled for hours to create a delightful, melt-in-your-mouth treat that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Whipped Cream Mixture

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Cookies

  • 30 whole Oreos
  • 12 crushed or chopped Oreos (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the whipped cream: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a whisk attachment to combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Begin mixing on low speed, gradually increasing to medium-high as the cream thickens. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, approximately 7-8 minutes.
  2. Layer the Oreos: Take an 8×8-inch baking dish or pan and arrange a single layer of whole Oreo cookies on the bottom. If necessary, cut a couple of Oreos in half to cover gaps and make an even base layer.
  3. Add whipped cream layer: Spread half of the whipped cream mixture evenly over the first Oreo layer using a spatula, smoothing the surface carefully for a uniform layer.
  4. Add second cookie layer: Place another full layer of whole Oreo cookies on top of the whipped cream layer, aligning them neatly to cover the cream completely.
  5. Top with remaining whipped cream: Spread the remaining whipped cream on the second Oreo layer, again smoothing the surface with a spatula for a clean finish.
  6. Chill the cake: Cover the baking dish tightly with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. This resting time allows the cookies to soften and absorb moisture from the cream, creating a cake-like texture.
  7. Add the finishing touch: Right before serving, sprinkle the crushed or chopped Oreos evenly over the top for added texture and Oreo flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the whipped cream is cold before whipping to achieve stiff peaks more easily.
  • The longer the cake chills, the better the texture; overnight refrigeration is best.
  • You can customize by adding layers of chocolate syrup or cream cheese for variation.
  • Use an 8×8 baking dish or a similar size pan to maintain proper thickness and layering.
