Ingredients
  

For the Whipped Cream
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract Use pure vanilla extract for best flavor.
For Assembly
  • 30 whole Oreos You may need to cut some to fit.
  • 12 crushed/chopped Oreos For topping.

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer with whisk attachment
  • 8x8 baking dish or pan
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. Add the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment.
  2. Start mixing on low speed, then increase the speed as the mixture thickens. Beat until stiff peaks form, which takes about 7 to 8 minutes.
  3. Cover the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish or pan with a single layer of whole Oreos. You might need to cut a few cookies to fill any gaps.
  4. Spread half of the prepared whipped cream over the layer of cookies and smooth the top using a spatula.
  5. Add another layer of Oreo cookies on top of the cream.
  6. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the second cookie layer and smooth the top surface.
  7. Cover the pan with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  8. Top the icebox cake with the crushed Oreos just before you serve it.

Notes

Do not substitute Cool Whip for the homemade whipped cream; homemade cream thickens and stabilizes better in the refrigerator. For a faster whipped cream process, place the mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for about 30 minutes before starting. If you want extra garnish, consider buying a family-size pack of Oreos, as a standard pack has about 45 cookies.
