Oreo Icebox Cake
Oreo Icebox Cake layers softened cookies, pudding, and whipped cream into a chilled dessert that cuts like cake and tastes like cookies and cream heaven.
Servings: 24 pieces
Cost: $8.93
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 (24-ounce) packages Oreo cookies (party-size package) see note 1
- 2 (3.4-ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix see note 2
- 3-1/4 cups whole milk divided
- 1 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping thawed, divided, see note 3
Instructions
- Line the pan with parchment, leaving an overhang so the cake lifts out easily. Scoop out 1 heaping cup of whipped topping and set it aside.
- In a bowl, add both pudding mixes. While whisking constantly, gradually pour in 2-1/4 cups milk. Continue to whisk for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. Gently fold in the remaining whipped topping until combined.
- Pour the last 1 cup milk into a shallow bowl. Dip cookies (both sides) in the milk, then arrange a single layer in the pan, breaking cookies as needed to fit.
- Spread half the pudding mixture over the cookies. Add another milk-soaked cookie layer, then the rest of the pudding. Finish with a final cookie layer.
- Spread the reserved whipped topping over the cookies. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours (overnight is best) so the cookies can fully soften.
- Lift out the cake, cut into squares with a sharp knife (wipe the blade between cuts), and garnish with a few leftover crumbled Oreo cookies if desired.

Notes
Note 1: You’ll need nearly two full party-size Oreo packages. You’ll likely have some left over, but it’s better to have extra than not enough.
Note 2: Use two boxes of regular instant pudding mix, not sugar-free, low-fat, or cook-and-serve. Make sure they’re the small 3.4-ounce boxes.
Note 3: Regular Cool Whip® gives the best texture. Light or sugar-free versions can turn watery.
Cutting Tip: Warm a sharp knife under hot water, dry it off, and slice for clean edges.
Storage: Keep the cake covered in the fridge. It’s best within 2 to 3 days. After that, it may start to get watery. Freezing is not recommended.
