Servings 12 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 Cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1/4 Cup (30g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 36 Oreo cookies (one standard 14.3oz package)
Instructions
Make the Whipped Cream
- Place the metal bowl of your stand mixer or a large metal mixing bowl into the refrigerator to chill for at least 15-30 minutes.
- Add the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into the chilled bowl. Using the whisk attachment on your stand mixer (or a hand mixer with the large bowl), beat the ingredients together on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the Oreo Icebox Cake
- Line a 9.5x5 inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on all four sides of the pan.
- Add a thin layer (about 1/4 inch thick) of the whipped cream onto the bottom of the pan, spread all the way to the edges. Add a layer of Oreo cookies on top. Use a paring knife to cut some of the Oreos to fit as needed.
- Add 1/3 of the remaining whipped cream (about 1 Cup) on top of the Oreo layer, followed by a second layer of Oreos. Add the next 1/3 of the whipped cream and a third layer of Oreos. Top with the remaining whipped cream.
- Wrap the excess plastic wrap overhang over the surface of the final whipped cream layer to cover it completely, then place the Oreo icebox cake into the refrigerator for at least 8 hours and up to two days. Overnight is best.
- Once the Oreo icebox cake is set and you're ready to serve, turn it out onto a serving plate and remove the plastic wrap. Top with the crushed Oreo cookies if desired. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Make Ahead Tips:
- The whipped cream is best made right before assembly, but it can also be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to one day.
- The assembled dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days, or in the freezer for up to one month. If freezing, thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
