Introduction
Enjoy a playful twist on classic icebox cake with this No-Bake Funfetti Oreo Icebox Cake. It’s loaded with colorful candies, creamy layers, and crunchy cookies that soften into a luscious delight. Perfect for celebrations or any time you want a fun, effortless dessert.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 package (14 oz / 400 g) Golden Oreos or graham crackers
- 15–20 mini chocolate Oreos
- ½ cup (100 g) M&M’s or rainbow candies
- 2 tbsp rainbow sprinkles
- ½ cup cream cheese (softened) for a richer filling (optional)
- Additional Oreos, M&Ms, or sprinkles for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 2–3 minutes. For a cheesecake-like flavor, gently blend in the softened cream cheese before whipping the cream.
- Step 2: Spread a thin layer of whipped cream on the bottom of an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) or 9×9-inch (23×23 cm) dish. Arrange a single layer of Golden Oreos or graham crackers to cover the base completely.
- Step 3: Spread another layer of whipped cream over the cookies, then sprinkle crushed mini Oreos, M&M’s, and rainbow sprinkles generously on top.
- Step 4: Repeat layers of cookies, whipped cream, and toppings until the dish is filled to the top. Finish with a thick layer of whipped cream and decorate with additional mini Oreos, M&M’s, and sprinkles as desired.
- Step 5: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the cookies to soften and absorb the cream, creating cake-like layers.
- Step 6: Slice and serve chilled for a creamy and colorful dessert that’s fun to eat.
Tips & Variations
- Use cream cheese in the whipped cream for a richer, cheesecake-inspired filling.
- Try substituting Golden Oreos for graham crackers if you prefer a less sweet base.
- Add chopped nuts or shredded coconut in the layers for extra texture.
- For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free cookies instead of Oreos or graham crackers.
Storage
Store the icebox cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled until serving to maintain its texture and freshness. If needed, slice portions and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating to soften slightly.

FAQs
Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Yes, it’s best made at least 4 hours in advance or overnight to allow the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully.
What can I use if I don’t have an electric mixer?
While an electric mixer is ideal for achieving stiff whipped cream quickly, you can whisk by hand, though it will take longer and require more effort to reach stiff peaks.
