- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

- Chopped strawberries or raspberries (pat dry first)
Substitutions

Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Whipped Cream
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside while preparing the cream cheese mixture.
Mix the Cream Cheese Base
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Combine the Filling
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold slowly to keep the mixture light and airy.
Add the Funfetti Touch
Fold in the rainbow sprinkles and mini chocolate chips, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the cream mixture.
Assemble the Icebox Cake
Arrange a single layer of Oreo cookies in the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish. Spread an even layer of the cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat layering cookies and cream until all ingredients are used, finishing with a cream layer on top.
Chill and Set
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This resting time allows the Oreos to soften and the layers to set into a sliceable cake.
Garnish and Serve
Before serving, decorate with extra sprinkles and crushed Oreos if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dessert straight from the refrigerator for the best texture. It pairs perfectly with coffee, milk, or hot chocolate and makes an eye-catching centerpiece for parties, potlucks, and celebrations.
Tips for Best Results
Use fully softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Fold gently to keep the filling fluffy. Overnight chilling gives the best cake-like texture, but four hours works in a pinch.
Storage Instructions
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This dessert does not freeze well due to the whipped cream base, so enjoy it fresh for best results.
