Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or additional crushed Oreos for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until you have a smooth and fluffy filling.
- Take a 9×9-inch (or similar size) baking dish or serving dish, and spread a small amount of the filling mixture on the bottom to create a thin layer.
- Arrange a layer of Oreo cookies on top of the filling, covering it completely. You can use whole cookies or crush them slightly to fit in any gaps.
- Add another layer of the cream filling on top of the Oreo layer, using about 1/3 of the mixture.
- Continue layering with cookies and filling until you run out of ingredients. The number of layers will depend on the depth of your dish.
- Finish with a layer of the cream filling on top.
- Optionally, you can garnish the top with chocolate shavings or additional crushed Oreos for extra flavor and presentation.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the Oreo Icebox Cake for at least 4-6 hours, preferably overnight. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften, creating a cake-like texture.
- Once chilled, slice and serve the Oreo Icebox Cake. Enjoy!
This dessert is perfect for gatherings or parties as it’s easy to make in advance and serves a crowd. It’s a crowd-pleaser, especially for Oreo and cookies and cream lovers!
