Description
This effortless no-bake Oreo Icebox Cake transforms simple cookies and cream into a sophisticated, velvety dessert with just four ingredients. Layers of chocolate wafers soften perfectly into a cake-like texture overnight, making it the ultimate stress-free treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream, very cold
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 packages (approx. 14 oz each) Oreo cookies
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract.
- Beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it becomes thick and forms stiff peaks, being careful not to over-whip.
- Arrange a single, even layer of whole Oreo cookies across the bottom of an 8-inch square pan.
- Spread exactly half of the whipped cream over the cookies, using a spatula to smooth it into an even layer reaching the corners.
- Place another layer of whole Oreo cookies on top of the cream, then cover with the remaining half of the whipped cream and smooth the surface.
- Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies over the top for garnish, then cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cookies to soften into a cake-like consistency.
Notes
To ensure the best results, always use full-fat heavy cream and keep your mixing bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer for a few minutes before whipping. If you prefer a softer cake texture, let the dessert sit for a full 24 hours so the cookies can fully absorb the moisture from the cream before serving.
