Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Oreo Crust:

• 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed (about 2 cups of crumbs)
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the Funfetti Cream Cheese Filling:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1½ cups (12 oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup rainbow sprinkles (jimmies work best)
• ½ cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 6-7 cookies)

For the Garnish:

• Extra whipped cream (homemade or from a can)
• Additional rainbow sprinkles
• Mini Oreo cookies for decoration

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preparing the Crust

1. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the sides for easy removal.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and melted butter, mixing until the texture resembles wet sand.
3. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
i>Chill the crust in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Making the Filling

1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form (about 3-4 minutes). Set aside.
2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
i>Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
3. Gently fold in the rainbow sprinkles and crushed Oreo cookies until just combined. (Reserve a few tablespoons if you want to create visible layers.)

Assembling the Cake

1. Spread the creamy funfetti mixture over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
i>Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap.
2. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, but preferably overnight (this is crucial for the proper texture!).

Serving

1. When ready to serve, lift the cake from the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
i>Decorate the top with additional whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, and mini Oreo cookies.
2. Slice with a sharp knife, cleaning the blade between cuts for neat slices.

Pro Tips for Perfect Icebox Cake

• Cream cheese temperature is important – it should be softened but not melted for the smoothest texture
i>Use jimmies sprinkles rather than nonpareils (the tiny ball-shaped sprinkles) as they won’t bleed colors as much
• For cleaner slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts
• Make it ahead – this cake actually tastes better after it’s had time to set up overnight

Variations to Try

• Chocolate lover’s version: Add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the filling
• Birthday cake: Use Golden Oreos instead of regular Oreos for the crust
• Seasonal themes: Use colored sprinkles to match holidays or special occasions
i>Individual servings: Assemble in small jars or glasses for personal portions

Storage Instructions

• Refrigerator: Store covered for up to 5 days
• Freezer: Can be frozen for up to 2 months (thaw overnight in refrigerator before serving)
i>Make ahead: This dessert is perfect for preparing 1-2 days before serving

Recipe FAQs

Can I use a different size pan?
Yes! Use a 9-inch round springform pan for a round cake presentation, or a 9×9-inch pan (reduce servings to 9 larger pieces).

Can I make this without cream cheese?
For a lighter version, substitute mascarpone cheese, or use 8 oz cream cheese and increase the whipped cream to 3 cups.

>Why did my sprinkles bleed color?
If your sprinkles are bleeding, they may be nonpareils rather than jimmies. Add sprinkles just before assembling, and handle minimally after adding them.

Can I add other mix-ins?
Absolutely! Try white chocolate chips, crushed cookie pieces, or even chopped candy bars in place of some of the sprinkles.
