Ingredients

  • 2 packs of Oreo cookies (about 40–45 cookies)

  • 3 cups whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1/2 cup milk (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Dip the Oreos
    Pour the milk into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each Oreo into the milk (just 1–2 seconds to soften) and set aside.

  2. Layer It Up
    In an 8×8-inch dish or loaf pan, spread a thin layer of whipped cream on the bottom. Add a layer of milk-dipped Oreos. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top of the Oreos. Repeat the layers until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.

  3. Chill and Set
    Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture. The longer it chills, the more cake-like the Oreos become.

  4. Serve
    Slice into squares and serve chilled. Optional: top with crushed Oreos, chocolate shavings, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Cook and Prep Times

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes

  • Chill Time: 4–6 hours (or overnight)

  • Total Time: 4–6 hours 15 minutes

Baking Pro Tips

  • Don’t over-soak the Oreos in milk or they’ll fall apart.

  • Use stabilized whipped cream if storing overnight (or use whipped topping like Cool Whip).

  • For extra flavor, mix crushed Oreos into the whipped cream between layers.

  • Want more chocolate? Add a drizzle of ganache between layers!

  • Use a clear glass dish to show off the beautiful layers.

With just three ingredients and a few minutes of prep, this Oreo Icebox Cake proves that dessert doesn’t need to be complicated to be amazing. Whether you’re making it last-minute or planning ahead for a special event, it’s a guaranteed hit.
