Ingredients
Scale
Whipped Cream Mixture
- 3 cups cold heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Cookies
- 64 Oreo thins or chocolate wafers, plus extra for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment to beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form, creating a smooth and fluffy whipped cream.
- Layer the Cake: Spread a very thin layer of the whipped cream mixture onto the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan. Arrange an even layer of 16 whole Oreos or chocolate wafers on top. Cover the cookies with more whipped cream, then repeat this layering process until you have completed four layers of cookies and cream.
- Finish and Chill: Spread a final layer of whipped cream over the top layer of cookies. Cover the pan and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cookies to soften and absorb the whipped cream, transforming into a creamy, cake-like dessert.
- Serve: When ready to serve, garnish the top of the cake with crushed Oreos or chocolate wafers. Use a sharp knife to slice the cake into portions and serve chilled.
Notes
- For best results, chill the cake overnight to allow the cookies to fully soften.
- You can substitute Oreos with any chocolate wafer cookies of your choice.
- Make sure the heavy cream is very cold before whipping to achieve stiff peaks.
- Use a springform pan for easy removal of the cake.
- This recipe is naturally vegetarian.
