Total Time: 4 hrs 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package of Oreo cookies
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup sugar
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by lightly greasing the bottom with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated and creating a light, fluffy texture.
- Pour the milk into a shallow dish for dipping the Oreo cookies.
- Quickly dip each Oreo cookie into the milk, ensuring it's lightly coated but not completely saturated, and begin layering the cookies in the prepared baking dish.
- Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the first layer of Oreo cookies, covering them completely.
- Repeat the process of dipping cookies and layering, alternating between Oreo cookies and cream cheese mixture until you've used all ingredients, typically creating 2-3 layers.
- Ensure the top layer is completely covered with the cream cheese mixture.
- Generously sprinkle birthday cake sprinkles over the top of the dessert for a festive appearance.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cookies to soften and flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, remove from refrigerator and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled, enjoying the creamy, cookie-filled dessert.
Tips
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother mixing and a more consistent texture.
- Don't over-soak the Oreo cookies - a quick dip is all you need to prevent a soggy mess.
- For extra richness, use heavy whipping cream instead of store-bought whipped cream.
- Chill the dish for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for the best flavor melding.
- Choose fun, colorful birthday cake sprinkles to make the dessert visually stunning.
- Let the cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften slightly.
- For a fun variation, try different Oreo flavors like Birthday Cake or Chocolate.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean, precise cutting when serving.
