This Oreo Icebox Cake is a no-bake, creamy dessert featuring layers of Oreo cookies and whipped cream. Chilled overnight, the cookies soften to create a delightful cake-like texture, perfect for a refreshing treat any time of year.

  • Total Time: 8 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Cookies

  • 48 Oreo cookies
  • Crushed Oreo cookies (for topping)

Whipped Cream Mixture

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 ½ cups (595 g) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ½ cup (62.5 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Chill mixing bowl and whisk attachment: Place the bowl of a stand mixer and the whisk attachment in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to chill thoroughly, ensuring your whipped cream will be light and fluffy.
  2. Beat cream cheese: Remove the chilled bowl and attachment from the freezer. Beat the softened cream cheese in the bowl until smooth and creamy using medium speed.
  3. Add and whip cream mixture: Add the cold heavy whipping cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract to the bowl with the cream cheese. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, being careful not to overbeat to maintain a smooth texture.
  4. Spread first layer of whipped cream: Spread a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture evenly into the bottom of an 8x8-inch baking dish to serve as the base for your cake.
  5. Arrange Oreo cookies: Place a single layer of Oreo cookies over the whipped cream base, breaking some cookies if needed to fit neatly in the dish.
  6. Add second cream layer: Spread about one-third of the remaining whipped cream mixture evenly over the Oreo cookie layer, covering the cookies completely.
  7. Repeat layers: Repeat layering the Oreo cookies and whipped cream mixture two more times, making sure to end with a final layer of whipped cream on top for a smooth finish.
  8. Top with crushed Oreos: Sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies generously over the top layer of whipped cream to add texture and extra flavor.
  9. Chill the cake: Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 6 to 8 hours or overnight. This chilling time allows the cookies to soften and absorb moisture, creating the perfect cake-like texture.
  10. Serve: For clean slices, place the cake in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes before cutting. Serve cold and enjoy this creamy, crunchy no-bake dessert.

Notes

  • Be sure to chill your mixing bowl and whisk attachment to help achieve stiff peaks when whipping the cream.
  • Take care not to overbeat the cream mixture to avoid it becoming grainy or turning into butter.
  • Breaking some Oreo cookies to fit the dish helps create even layers without gaps.
  • Refrigeration time is essential for the cookies to soften and transform the texture.
  • Freezing the cake briefly before slicing ensures neat, clean pieces.
