A simple, no-bake icebox cake featuring layers of Oreos, whipped cream, and fresh berries, perfect for summer celebrations and 4th of July gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 full-size Oreos, classic chocolate with creme filling
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup (150 g) fresh blueberries, washed and dried
  • Optional: fresh mint sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes before whipping the cream.
  2. In the chilled bowl, pour 2 cups (480 ml) of heavy whipping cream. Beat on medium-high speed until it starts to thicken (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Continue whipping until soft peaks form.
  4. Quickly separate the Oreos. Leave them whole or break roughly in half if preferred.
  5. Spread about ½ cup (120 ml) of whipped cream on the bottom of a 9×9 inch (23×23 cm) dish.
  6. Arrange a single layer of Oreos on top, fitting them snugly side by side.
  7. Spread about 1 cup (240 ml) of whipped cream over the Oreos, smoothing gently.
  8. Add a layer of sliced strawberries and blueberries evenly over the cream.
  9. Repeat with another layer of Oreos, followed by the remaining whipped cream.
  10. Top with the remaining berries, pressing down lightly to set the layers.
  11. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
  12. Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint if using. Cut into squares with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for cleaner cuts.

Notes

Chill mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results. Do not overwhip cream to avoid grainy texture. Chill cake at least 4 hours or overnight for softened cookies and best flavor. Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water for clean slices. Variations include dairy-free and gluten-free substitutions, and seasonal berry swaps.
