No-Bake Funfetti Oreo Icebox Cake

Why I Love This Recipe

I love this cake because it delivers maximum flavor with minimal effort. The Oreos soften into cake-like layers as they chill, and the filling is light, creamy, and loaded with sprinkles. It’s an easy crowd-pleaser that I can assemble ahead of time, making it stress-free for parties. The bright colors and fun texture always make people smile, and it’s one of those desserts that disappears fast at gatherings.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 2 packages Birthday Cake Oreos (or regular or Double Stuf)

• ⅔ cup milk

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• ½ cup cream cheese, softened (optional, for extra stability)

• ½ cup rainbow sprinkles

Directions

1. I prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish.

2. In a mixing bowl, I whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. If I’m using cream cheese, I beat it separately until smooth, then fold it into the whipped cream.

3. I place the milk in a shallow dish. I dip each Oreo quickly into the milk (just a second or two) to soften them.

4. I line the bottom of the dish with a layer of dipped Oreos.

5. I spread a layer of whipped cream mixture over the Oreos, then sprinkle a handful of rainbow sprinkles on top.

6. I repeat the layers—Oreos, whipped cream, sprinkles—until I’ve used everything, finishing with a layer of cream on top.

7. I decorate the top with more sprinkles (and even extra Oreos if I want).

8. I cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, so the Oreos soften and the flavors meld.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 12 servings. It takes just 20 minutes to assemble, plus at least 4 hours of chilling time (overnight is best). That means I can prepare it the night before and have a festive dessert ready to go.

Variations

• I sometimes use Golden Oreos or Chocolate Oreos for a different flavor.

• I add a layer of funfetti cake crumbs or crumbled cookies for extra texture.

• For a fruity twist, I fold in fresh strawberries or raspberries between layers.

• I swap the whipped cream for Cool Whip when I want an even quicker shortcut.

• I drizzle melted white chocolate over the top for an extra sweet touch.

Storage/Reheating

I store this icebox cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. The Oreos soften more over time, so it gets even better on day two. I don’t freeze this dessert, as the texture of the whipped cream and Oreos doesn’t hold up well once thawed. Since it’s a chilled dessert, I never reheat it—it’s best served cold.

FAQs

Do I need to bake this cake?

No baking required! The Oreos soften in the fridge, creating a cake-like texture without the oven.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, I love making it the night before. Overnight chilling ensures the best texture.

What if I don’t have Birthday Cake Oreos?

Regular Oreos, Double Stuf, or Golden Oreos work great. I just add a few extra sprinkles to keep it funfetti-style.

Can I use Cool Whip instead of whipped cream?

Absolutely. I substitute two 8-ounce tubs of Cool Whip for the whipped cream mixture if I want to skip whipping.

How do I keep the whipped cream stable?

Adding cream cheese to the whipped cream helps stabilize it, but it’s optional. The cake will still hold up well without it if served within a couple of days.

Conclusion

No-Bake Funfetti Oreo Icebox Cake is a colorful, celebratory dessert that’s as easy as it is delicious. With its creamy layers, softened cookies, and sprinkle-studded filling, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. Whether I’m celebrating a birthday or just looking for a fun and simple treat, this cake always brings joy to the table.
