Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 packages Oreo cookies
- 4 cups whipped cream
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
- Grab a 9×13 inch baking dish and have it ready for layering your delicious icebox cake.
- Pour ½ cup of milk into a shallow bowl for dipping your cookies.
- Quickly dunk each Oreo cookie into the milk, ensuring a light coating without making them too soggy.
- Arrange the milk-dipped cookies in a single, tight layer across the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spread 1 cup of whipped cream evenly over the cookie layer, covering every inch to create a smooth surface.
- Repeat the dipping and layering process with another set of Oreo cookies, creating a second cookie layer.
- Continue alternating between cookie and whipped cream layers until you have used all 2 packages of Oreo cookies.
- Top the final layer with the remaining 1 cup of whipped cream, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for exactly 4 hours or overnight to allow the cookies to soften.
- Remove from the refrigerator 10 minutes before serving to let the icebox cake slightly come to room temperature.
Notes
- Dip Oreos quickly in milk to prevent sogginess, aiming for a light coating that softens the cookie without falling apart.
- For a smoother texture, use an electric mixer to whip cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring a stable and fluffy layer between cookies.
- Crush a few extra Oreos to sprinkle on top for added crunch and visual appeal, creating a delightful textural contrast.
- To make this dessert gluten-free, swap regular Oreos for gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies and ensure your whipped cream is dairy-free if needed.
