A simple, no-bake icebox cake featuring layers of crunchy Oreos and whipped cream, decorated with fresh strawberries and blueberries for a festive patriotic dessert perfect for summer celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package) – Double Stuf recommended
  • 3 cups heavy whipping cream (720 ml), cold
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar (40 g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (150 g)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (150 g)
  • Optional: Mint leaves for garnish
  • Optional: A few crushed Oreos for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workspace and ingredients: chill mixing bowl and beaters; wash and slice strawberries; wash and dry blueberries.
  2. Whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 7-10 minutes.
  3. Arrange a single layer of Oreos at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish without crushing or soaking them.
  4. Spread about one-third of the whipped cream evenly over the Oreo layer using a spatula.
  5. Repeat layering Oreos and whipped cream two more times, finishing with whipped cream on top.
  6. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Before serving, decorate the top with sliced strawberries arranged in stripes and blueberries clustered in a star pattern; garnish with mint leaves if desired.

Notes

Chill your mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream to help it whip faster and hold better. Do not overbeat the cream to avoid graininess. Keep Oreos whole to maintain crunch. Chill cake at least 4 hours or overnight for best texture and easier slicing. Use a serrated knife to slice neatly. Fresh berries are recommended for vibrant color and taste. For dairy-free or vegan versions, use coconut whipped cream and vegan Oreo cookies. Gluten-free Oreo-style cookies can be used for gluten-free option.
