Description

This no-bake Oreo Icebox Cake is the ultimate effortless dessert! With layers of fluffy whipped cream and classic Oreo cookies, it transforms into a soft, creamy, and chocolatey delight after a chill in the fridge. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or weeknight indulgence!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
  • 3 cups heavy cream, chilled
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Chocolate sauce or crushed Oreos for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whip the cream: In a large bowl, combine chilled heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Beat with a mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Start layering: Spread a thin layer of whipped cream in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
  3. Add Oreos: Place a single layer of Oreos over the whipped cream. Break some if needed to fill gaps.
  4. Repeat layers: Alternate whipped cream and Oreos, ending with a final layer of whipped cream on top.
  5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the cookies to soften.
  6. Serve: Garnish with crushed Oreos or a drizzle of chocolate sauce, then slice and enjoy chilled.

Notes

  • Shortcut: Use 1 (8 oz) tub of whipped topping instead of homemade whipped cream, if preferred.
  • Flavor twist: Try using flavored Oreos like mint or peanut butter for a fun variation.
  • Storage: Keep covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
