Ingredients Needed to make an Oreo Icebox Cake

Golden Oreo Cookies . The Oreos should be fresh and intact. While double stuffed could work in this recipe, I would not use mini as the Oreos are used as a base for the other ingredients.
Cream Cheese. Use a full fat bar cream cheese that has been softened to room temperature.
Vanilla Extract. Really, any flavor extract can be used but, vanilla probably goes best with the ingredients as is.
Heavy Whipping Cream. This is used to make the whipped ingredient layers. Cold whipping cream works best.
Powdered Sugar. Granulated sugar will not work in this instance.
Sprinkles. Most any kind of edible sprinkles can be used including holiday versions.
Frozen Whipped Topping. Use the standard tub version. This should be thawed in your refrigerator.

How to make No Bake Oreo Funfetti Icebox Cake

Prep: 15 minutes.

Step One: prepare.

Make sure that your cream cheese has been softened and that the tubbed topping is thawed.
Select the cookies that are intact. Broken cookies can be crushed or crumbled and added as a topping.
Prepare a baking dish, making sure that it is clean and dry. My cake was made in a 9X13 baking dish.

Step Two: make the creamy filling .

Start by laying out the cookies to form the bottom layer in your baking dish. The cookies should touch on another but, it is okay to leave space where they do not touch one another.
In a medium bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and vanilla until smooth.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on medium high until it has thickened but, no peaks have formed. Then add the powdered sugar and beat until peaks form.
Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and then fold in the cream cheese mixture from the first bowl along with a half cup of sprinkles, to the mixing bowl.

Expert Tip 👉 It is best to use a clean mixing bowl and whisk attachments to beat the heavy whipping cream. Also, refrigerate the clean bowl and whisk attachments first.

Step Three: finish making the cake.

Use a large spoon to drop about a third of the creamy mixture over the cookie layer that you made on the bottom of the baking dish.
Top the creamy layer with a layer of cookies and then add another third of the the creamy mixture on top of the new cookie layer.
Use a rubber spatula to fold in the tubbed whipping cream with the remaining third of the creamy layer. Then use this layer as the top layer of your cake, carefully spreading it ovenly over the last layer.
Add your remaining sprinkles to the cake and then cover the cake with plastic wrap, foil, or a similar cover.
Refrigerate the cake until set - about four to six hours.
