Description

This 4 Ingredient Easy Icebox Cake is a no-bake, creamy, and decadent dessert featuring layers of whipped cream and Oreo Thins cookies. Perfect for a quick, fuss-free treat that requires minimal prep and freezes to a delightful, sliceable cake. Ideal for parties, gatherings, or a simple indulgent dessert at home.

Ingredients

Whipped Cream Mixture

  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Cookies

  • 1 1/2 packages Oreo Thins (about 54 cookies)

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In the bowl of a hand or stand mixer fitted with the whip attachment, add 3 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, which takes about 1-2 minutes. Monitor carefully as it happens quickly.
  2. Layer the Base: Spread a thin layer of the whipped cream mixture on the bottom of a springform pan. Then add a layer of Oreo Thins cookies arranged around the pan, about 19 cookies for the first layer.
  3. Alternate Layers: Continue layering by alternating a layer of whipped cream followed by a layer of Oreo Thins cookies. Finish with a top layer of whipped cream, using approximately 54 cookies total in the cake.
  4. Freeze the Cake: Place the assembled cake into the freezer and freeze for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight to allow the cake to set.
  5. Prepare to Serve: Remove the cake from the freezer 10 minutes before serving to help release the sides from the pan. You may need to use a knife around the edges to loosen the cake from the springform pan.
  6. Garnish: Crush the remaining Oreo Thins cookies and sprinkle them over the top of the cake as a garnish before serving.

Notes

  • Keep an eye on the whipped cream during whipping to avoid overbeating and turning it into butter.
  • If using a different type of cookies, ensure they are thin to get the best layering effect.
  • The icebox cake is best served slightly thawed for easy slicing.
  • Store leftover cake in the freezer covered tightly to maintain freshness.
  • Using a springform pan makes it easier to remove the cake without damaging the layers.
