Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 ounces/406 grams) Golden Oreos (or Birthday Cake Oreos)
- 2 cups (480 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 1 ½ cups (180 grams) Funfetti cake mix, dry (do not prepare as a batter)
Sweeteners and Flavorings:
- ½ cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decorative Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (40 grams) sprinkles (plus extra for garnish)
Instructions
- Craft a velvety Funfetti whipped cream by vigorously whipping heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft, billowy peaks develop.
- Gently incorporate the dry Funfetti cake mix into the whipped cream, creating a luscious, speckled mixture that’s thick and luxuriously creamy.
- Establish the foundation of your icebox cake by spreading a delicate layer of the Funfetti cream across the bottom of a rectangular dish.
- Systematically arrange Golden Oreos in a precise, single layer atop the initial cream base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously drape another stratum of Funfetti cream over the cookie layer, meticulously sprinkling colorful confetti sprinkles for visual and textural intrigue.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating between Oreos and Funfetti cream, building height and complexity with each successive tier.
- Conclude the architectural construction with a final lavish spread of whipped cream, adorning the summit with an abundant cascade of vibrant sprinkles.
- Securely encase the assembled dessert in plastic wrap, allowing it to rest and meld in the refrigerator for a minimum of four hours, preferably overnight.
- When ready to serve, carefully slice the chilled icebox cake, revealing its stunning stratified interior, and present cold for maximum textural delight.
Notes
- Customize the cake mix by using different flavored cake mixes like chocolate or strawberry for unique variations.
- Ensure the whipped cream is whipped to soft peaks for the perfect texture, avoiding over-beating which can make it grainy.
- Swap Golden Oreos with regular Oreos or gluten-free alternatives to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Chill the mixing bowl and whisk before whipping cream to help it reach maximum volume and stability.
- Add a splash of flavored extract like almond or coconut to enhance the whipped cream’s taste profile.
- Prepare this dessert a day ahead for the best texture, allowing cookies to soften completely in the creamy layers.
