Ingredients

Scale

🛒 Ingredients (for one 9×13-inch dish):

For the Cake Layers:
36–40 Oreo cookies (regular or thin)
2 cups cold heavy whipping cream (or 1 tub Cool Whip)
½ cup powdered sugar (if using heavy cream)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Variations:
8 oz cream cheese, softened (for richer filling)
1 package instant vanilla or chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk (if using pudding)

For Topping:
Crushed Oreos
Chocolate syrup or fudge drizzle
Optional: mini chocolate chips or whipped cream

Instructions

📝 Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Filling
If using homemade whipped cream, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Optional: For a cream cheese version, beat cream cheese until smooth, then fold into whipped cream.
Optional: For pudding variation, whisk pudding mix with milk until thick, then fold into whipped topping.

Step 2: Layer the Cake
Spread a thin layer of whipped filling on the bottom of your dish.
Add a single layer of Oreo cookies.
Spread a generous layer of filling over the cookies.
Repeat layers (cookies + cream) until ingredients are used, ending with a cream layer on top.

Step 3: Chill
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight, until cookies soften.

Step 4: Decorate
Top with crushed Oreos, chocolate drizzle, or extra whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Texture Tip: Overnight chilling gives the best soft, cake-like consistency.
Flavor Boost: Use flavored Oreos like mint or golden for variation.
Lighter Option: Use light whipped topping or reduced-fat cream cheese.
Freezer Option: Freeze for a firmer, ice-cream-like dessert.
