PIN it for later
It is only appropriate that I wish all the mommies out there a belated Happy Mother’s Day. I don’t know where I’d be if it weren’t for my mother, who has always been there for me. She has helped me get out of some significant ruts, talked me through my tears, braved the 405 to relocate me from San Diego to Santa Barbara, accompanied me on countless trips, and most importantly, she is always there for the biggest (and smallest) choices.
I contacted her yesterday, for example, because I needed a new vacuum. How does one even begin looking for a decent vacuum? What would I do if I didn’t have my mother?
But really, if you have any recommendations for an excellent vacuum, please let me know and leave a comment. It must be carpet-friendly, but it must also be suitable for use on hardwood floors.
As Memorial Day approaches, I’m stocking up on summer dishes, particularly ones that don’t need baking. This No-Bake Oreo Funfetti Icebox Cake is all about having a good time.
I posted the Chocolate Oreo Icebox Cake a few weeks ago, which inspired today’s funfetti variant. I’m experimenting with full Golden Oreos and funfetti mousse made with my favorite Cake Batter Whipped Cream. Seriously, I can’t think of enough reasons to create that whipped cream. It’s whipped cream sweetened with dry vanilla cake mix, and it’s out of this world.
This icebox cake has three entire layers of Golden Oreos that have been dipped in milk to keep them moist. This is a strategy I used in my cookbook as well. The milk transforms the Oreos into a cake-like texture while yet providing adequate structure for the cake.
On top of the layers of Golden Oreos and cake batter mousse, there’s a layer of handmade whipped cream to balance things out. You obviously need a few extra sprinkles in there.
This dish was cooked in my favourite 9-inch springform pan, but it would also work well in a 9-inch square pan that is at least 3-inches high. You should let this dessert to chill in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours. You may also freeze this if you want to prepare it ahead of time! However, I always leave it in the fridge for 2 hours before putting it in the freezer. This softens the cookies and helps them to combine with the mousse. Enjoy your no-baking time!

No-Bake Oreo Funfetti Icebox Cake
- Author:LEE
- Prep Time:25 mins
- Cook Time:4 hours
- Total Time:4 hours 25 minutes
- Yield:9 slices
Description
This icebox cake is ready for any occasion, with layers of sprinkles and Oreos!
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, soften
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- cups vanilla cake mix (dry)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- cup sprinkles
- 1 cup milk
- 1 packages (14.3 oz) Golden Oreos
- For the toppings:
- 1 cups heavy whipping cream
- cup powdered sugar
- Sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Allow the cream cheese to soften for approximately 30 minutes at room temperature or in the microwave. Remove the wrapper and lay the cream cheese on a dish to soften in the microwave. Microwave on high for 15 to 20 seconds.
- Freeze your mixing bowl and whisk for 15 minutes, or until absolutely cold. For several minutes, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken.
- Continue beating until stiff peaks form after gradually adding the dry vanilla cake mix and powdered sugar. Set aside the whipped cream.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese for 2 to 3 minutes on medium-high speed. Continue beating for 2 to 3 minutes after adding the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, until the sugar is fully mixed. Scrape the bottom of the basin and fold the mixture with a spatula to make sure it’s fully combined.
- Next, put the cream cheese and the prepared whipped cream in a mixing bowl and fold until well blended; gradually add the sprinkles while combining.
- Line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper to make the icebox cake. It’s OK if it sticks out the sides of the pan, but seal the springform edges around the parchment paper.
- To make the layers, dip each Oreo (on both sides) in the milk and line the bottom of the pan as evenly as possible.
- Divide the filling into thirds and distribute the first third over the bottom layer of Oreos. Repeat the previous two stages for the following levels. There will be three layers of Oreos and three layers of funfetti mousse.
- For the topping:
- Freeze your mixing bowl and whisk for 15 minutes, or until absolutely cold. For several minutes, beat the heavy cream on medium-high speed until it begins to thicken.
- Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar and continue to beat until firm peaks form.
- Set aside 1 cups of prepared whipped cream to pipe the borders of the cake. Cover the top of the cake with the remaining whipped cream and pipe the edges using a big open star tip. Garnish with more sprinkles on top.
- Refrigerate the icebox cake for at least 4 hours before serving. You may also freeze this cake if you want to make it more than 24 hours ahead of time, but I recommend chilling it for at least 2 hours before freezing so the Oreos soften properly.

FAQs
Why is it called an icebox cake?
Icebox cake was called by the fact that it is “made” in the icebox (also known as the refrigerator) rather than the oven.
