Ingredients
-
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
-
3 cups heavy whipping cream
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional: extra crushed Oreos or mini Oreos for topping
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
-
Spread a thin layer of whipped cream in the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to anchor the cookies.
-
Add a single layer of Oreo cookies over the cream, breaking cookies as needed to fill gaps.
-
Spread a thick layer of whipped cream on top of the cookies.
-
Continue layering cookies and whipped cream until you reach the top of the dish, ending with a layer of cream.
-
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the cookies to soften and meld.
-
Before serving, sprinkle the top with crushed Oreos or mini Oreos for extra crunch and presentation.
Notes
-
You can substitute store-bought whipped topping (like Cool Whip) for homemade whipped cream in a pinch.
-
Make it extra rich by adding a layer of chocolate pudding or drizzle of chocolate sauce between layers.
-
This dessert is best when chilled overnight for that soft cake-like texture.
