This delicious Oreo Icebox Cake is a no-bake dessert that layers milk-dipped Oreo cookies with creamy vanilla pudding and whipped topping. Chilled overnight, the cookies soften into cake-like layers, creating a rich, creamy treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Layer

  • 2 (24-ounce) packages Oreo cookies (party-size)

Vanilla Pudding Filling

  • 2 (3.4-ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 1/4 cups whole milk (for pudding)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk (for dipping cookies)
  • 1 8-ounce container frozen whipped topping (thawed and divided)

Instructions

  1. Prep Pan: Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides to easily lift out the cake once set.
  2. Reserve Whipped Topping: Scoop out 1 heaping cup of whipped topping from the container and set aside for the final layer.
  3. Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine both packs of instant vanilla pudding mix. Gradually pour in 2 1/4 cups of whole milk while whisking constantly. Whisk for 1-2 minutes until smooth and thickened. Gently fold in the remaining whipped topping until fully combined.
  4. Dip and Arrange Cookies: Pour 1 cup of whole milk into a shallow bowl. Dip each Oreo cookie quickly on both sides to soften, then arrange a single layer of these milk-soaked cookies in the prepared pan, breaking cookies as needed to fit.
  5. Layer Cake: Spread half of the vanilla pudding filling evenly over the cookie layer. Add another layer of milk-soaked Oreos on top. Spread the remaining pudding mixture over this second cookie layer. Finish with a final layer of milk-soaked Oreo cookies.
  6. Chill Cake: Spread the reserved whipped topping over the top cookie layer. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld.
  7. Serve: Carefully lift the cake out using the parchment overhang. Using a sharp knife, cut into squares, wiping the blade clean between cuts for neat slices. Optionally, garnish with crumbled Oreo cookies before serving.

Notes

  • Use party-size Oreo packages for the perfect amount of cookies and to avoid running out mid-layering.
  • Instant pudding mix sets quickly and adds a smooth vanilla flavor, but you can substitute homemade pudding if preferred.
  • Thawed whipped topping provides lightness to the pudding filling and a creamy finish on top.
  • For a firmer cake, chilling overnight is recommended.
  • Use whole milk for best flavor and texture, but 2% milk can be used as a lighter alternative.
  • Shape the cake in a 9×13-inch pan; adjust cookie quantities correspondingly for different pan sizes.
