Ingredients
Scale
Cookies:
- 2 packages Golden Oreo cookies
- 1 box (11 oz / 312 g)
Cream Mixture:
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 1 package (8 oz / 226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) powdered sugar
Topping:
- 1/2 cup (60 g) crushed Golden Oreo cookies
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) caramel sauce
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a large rectangular dish by lining the bottom with a single layer of Golden Oreo cookies, creating a compact base.
- In a chilled mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy texture.
- In a separate bowl, blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a luxurious and velvety filling.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream mixture over the cookie base, ensuring even coverage and no gaps.
- Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of Golden Oreo cookies, followed by the cream mixture, creating a stratified dessert.
- Continue alternating layers until you’ve used all the cookies and cream mixture, ending with a cream layer on top.
- Refrigerate the icebox cake for at least 4-6 hours or overnight, allowing the cookies to soften and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, sprinkle crushed Golden Oreo cookies over the top for added crunch and visual appeal.
- Drizzle caramel sauce in a decorative pattern, adding a sweet and indulgent finishing touch.
- Optional: Add a splash of vanilla extract to the caramel sauce for enhanced flavor complexity.
- Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the creamy, cookie-laden dessert that’s perfect for summer gatherings.
Notes
- Choose room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth blending and optimal texture.
- Crush cookies gently to maintain some texture and prevent turning into fine crumbs.
- Whip cream carefully to avoid over-beating, which can make the mixture grainy and dense.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for richer, more stable filling that holds its shape beautifully.
- Chill the dish for maximum cookie softening and flavor melding, preferably overnight.
- Customize by swapping Golden Oreos with different flavors like chocolate or birthday cake varieties.
- Create a gluten-free version using gluten-free sandwich cookies and checking cream cheese ingredients.
- Reduce sugar by using a sugar-free powdered sweetener for a lighter dessert option.
