Description
A quick and easy no-bake dessert featuring layers of crushed Oreos and luscious cream, perfect for hot summer days. This creamy icebox cake requires no oven and is a crowd-pleaser for all ages.
Ingredients
Scale
- About 30 whole Oreo cookies, crushed or broken into pieces
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy cream, chilled
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup (90 g) powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Break about 30 Oreo cookies into chunks (not too fine). Set aside.
- In a chilled large bowl, whip 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy cream with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Stop as soon as the cream holds its shape but still looks smooth.
- In another bowl, beat 8 oz (225 g) softened cream cheese with ¾ cup (90 g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping the mixture light and airy.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom of a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) dish. Sprinkle a layer of Oreo chunks evenly over the cream. Repeat layers until all cream mixture and Oreos are used, finishing with a cream layer on top.
- Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Slice the chilled cake into squares and serve cold. Optionally garnish with extra crushed Oreos or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Notes
Chill your mixing bowl and beaters for at least 15 minutes before whipping cream for best results. Do not overwhip the cream to avoid turning it grainy or into butter. Let cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing. Allow the cake to chill for several hours or overnight for best texture and flavor. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slicing.
