Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 packages Birthday Cake Oreos (or regular/Double Stuf)
2/3 cup milk
1¾ cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
3/4 cup dry white cake mix (just the powder)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup rainbow sprinkles
Additional whipped cream and sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Directions

Grease a 9-inch round springform pan.
In a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Add confectioners’ sugar and dry cake mix powder, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form. Stir in rainbow sprinkles and set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Gently fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture into the bottom of the pan. Dip each Oreo briefly in milk and arrange in a single layer.
Add one-third of the cream mixture over the Oreos and smooth it out. Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a final layer of cream.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4–6 hours or overnight to allow the cake to set.
Before serving, top with extra whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles if desired.

Variations

Different Oreo Flavors: Swap Birthday Cake Oreos for Golden Oreos, Chocolate Oreos, or any limited-edition flavor.
Funfetti Twist: Use funfetti cake mix instead of white cake mix for even more sprinkle flavor.
Chocolate Version: Add a layer of chocolate ganache or fudge between the cream layers for a rich twist.
Mini Cakes: Make individual servings in small jars or cups for a fun party treat.
Lighter Option: Use light cream cheese and whipped topping instead of heavy cream and regular cream cheese.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

How far in advance can I make this icebox cake?

You can make it up to 24 hours in advance. In fact, it’s even better when it chills overnight.

Can I use Cool Whip instead of homemade whipped cream?

Yes, you can substitute Cool Whip for a quicker version. Use about 4 cups of Cool Whip in place of the heavy cream, confectioners’ sugar, and cake mix.

Do I have to use Birthday Cake Oreos?

No, any type of Oreo will work, but Birthday Cake Oreos add extra flavor and a fun party vibe.

What if I don’t have a springform pan?

You can use a regular 9-inch cake pan or a square dish, but a springform pan makes it easier to remove and serve.

Can I use flavored cream cheese?

Yes, vanilla or birthday cake-flavored cream cheese can enhance the flavor even more.

Are raw cake mix powders safe to eat?

It’s best to heat-treat the cake mix before using. Microwave the dry mix in a bowl for about 1 minute, stirring halfway through, to kill any potential bacteria.

Can I make this gluten-free?

Yes, use gluten-free sandwich cookies and gluten-free cake mix for an allergy-friendly version.

Can I add fresh fruit?

Yes, layer in sliced strawberries or bananas for a fruity twist.

How do I keep the Oreos from getting too soggy?

Just dip them briefly in milk—don’t soak. They’ll soften perfectly during the chilling process.

What’s the best way to slice this cake?

Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts to get clean slices.
