Description
Get ready for the easiest Summer dessert with this Strawberry Icebox Cake! It's a no bake recipe and features alternating layers of whipped cream and Oreos with a fresh Strawberry topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 13 ounce regular Oreo Cookies (you'll have some leftover)
- 1/2 of a 16 ounce package fresh Strawberries
Instructions
- Line a 10 inch bread loaf pan with plastic wrap, making sure it overhangs on both sides.
- Separate each of the Oreo cookies into 2 pieces.
- Into the stand mixer with whisk attachment, or a bowl if using hand mixer, add in the heavy cream, vanilla and powdered sugar. Whip on medium low speed until you get stiff peaks and the whipped cream holds in place well. Note: It's better to over mix than under mix in this recipe. You want it really firm for layering.
- It's time to assemble our cake. Into the bottom of the loaf pan over the plastic, spread out about a heaping cup of whipped cream to cover the bottom of the pan. Top the whipped cream with the split Oreo cookies in a single layer without overlapping too much. Spread over another cup of Whipped Cream, then Oreo, then Whipped Cream, and finish with an Oreo Layer. *If you have any whipped cream topping left, store it in a container in the fridge and you can use it to top the cake tomorrow.
- Cover the loaf pan with more plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Unwrap the loaf pan and run a butter knife between the cake and pan on the top and bottom (where we don't have lined with plastic wrap). Put the serving dish over the top of the loaf pan and flip over so it lands onto the serving dish. The loaf pan should easily slip off. Remove the plastic wrap. Top the whipped cream layer with freshly sliced or diced strawberries. If desired, top with leftover whipped cream and I crushed up a few Oreos to make it pretty. Serve in slices and enjoy!
Notes
- This recipe goes in the FRIDGE, not the freezer. I know the term "icebox" is confusing.
- Make sure to line the loaf pan with plastic wrap over the sides, or it's not going to come out well.
- After 6 hours, you can pull this from the fridge, but overnight is best because the cookies really soften.
