Description
This elegant Oreo Icebox Cake transforms simple chocolate wafers and stabilized whipped cream into a sophisticated, melt-in-your-mouth dessert. By allowing the layers to rest, the cookies soften into a perfect cake-like texture that is both nostalgic and refined.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) cold heavy whipping cream (35-40% fat)
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 35 Oreo cookies, divided
Instructions
- Chill a mixing bowl and whisk attachment for 10 minutes, then whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Arrange 16 Oreo cookies in a single even layer at the bottom of an 8-inch square pan.
- Spread half of the whipped cream evenly over the cookie layer using an offset spatula.
- Add a second layer of 16 Oreo cookies, then top with the remaining whipped cream and smooth the surface.
- Crush the remaining 3 cookies and sprinkle over the top; cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours for the best texture.
Notes
For the cleanest slices, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wiped dry between each cut. If you prefer a firmer texture that handles better in warm weather, place the cake in the freezer for 30 minutes just before serving.
