There is something so special about an icebox cake because it tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen even though it is incredibly simple to put together. Everyone loves the way the cookies soften up as they soak in the cream, turning into a texture that is just like soft cake layers.

My best tip for this recipe is to be patient while it sets in the fridge. Letting it sit overnight is the secret to getting those perfect clean slices when you are ready to serve it to your family.

🧺 Ingredients

1 package of Oreo cookies
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk for dipping

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla together until stiff peaks form.
2
Quickly dip each Oreo cookie into the milk just for a second so they do not get too soggy.
3
Place a single layer of the dipped cookies into the bottom of an 8 by 8 inch square pan.
4
Spread a layer of the whipped cream mixture over the cookies.
5
Repeat the layers of cookies and cream until you reach the top of the pan.
6
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.

💡 Tips

Serve this cold directly from the fridge for the best texture. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want a bit of extra crunch, sprinkle some crushed cookies on top right before you serve it.
