Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Spatula
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients

  • 1 package 14.3 oz Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: extra crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings for garnish

Instructions

  • Make the Whipped Cream:
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • Layer the Cake:
  • Spread a thin layer of whipped cream on the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish (to keep the cookies from sliding).
  • Place a single layer of Oreos on top, breaking some to fit.
  • Continue Layering:
  • Spread ⅓ of the whipped cream evenly over the cookies. Repeat layers—Oreos, whipped cream—until you end with whipped cream on top (usually 3–4 layers total).
  • Garnish:
  • Sprinkle crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings over the top for decoration.
  • Chill:
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight, until the Oreos soften to a cake-like texture.
Servings: 12 squares
