It’s birthday cake time!
Not actual birthday cake because it’s not my birthday, but birthday cake the flavour! I bought a big bag of Birthday Cake Oreos home with me from the USA and I knew JUST how to use them.
To make an icebox cake of course! You’re going to fall head over heels for this gorgeous no bake dessert.
The very first icebox cake I ever tasted was at Magnolia Bakery in New York roughly five years ago. I can still remember devouring every last bite and desperately wishing for a second piece.
This one is basically just a messy mixture of chocolate cream and Oreos with a whole heap of sprinkles thrown in for good measure. The Oreos soften and develop a tender cake-like texture, creating one heavenly dessert.
The best part is you only need a handful of ingredients to make this irresistible no-bake Birthday Cake Oreo Icebox Cake (wow, try saying that ten times fast). It is no secret around here that I love icebox cakes and I love making them with Oreos.
Remember my Snickers Peanut Butter Chocolate Icebox Cake? And my Strawberry Chocolate Icebox Cake? But I can never EVER resist anything with sprinkles, so I think this one is my fave.
There is so much to love about icebox cakes. For one, they’re ABSOLUTELY delicious, and two, they’re so easy to make. Honestly, anyone can make this cake!
If you live in Australia or another country that doesn’t sell Birthday Cake Oreos, you can just use regular Oreos in this recipe. It will still taste absolutely delicious. I mean cookies and cream? With sprinkles? Yes please!
So I’m officially back on Australian soil and thankfully, the jet lag coming home wasn’t nearly as bad as going over to America. But it’s always a small price to pay for an amazing holiday! We were blown away by Chicago AND we finally made it to the Bang Bang Pie Shop. Woop woop!
Between that and trying deep dish pizza for the first time at Lou Malnati’s, Chicago was a food paradise. We also got to see Hamilton the musical, which was absolutely fantastic – I’m still singing all the songs!
While we travelled through Nashville, Charleston and Savannah, we were able to try all kinds of Southern foods, including fried green tomatoes, hush puppies, fried catfish and collard greens. Not to mention all the barbecue. We also had the BEST cherry pie in Savannah – it was what dreams are made of! I can’t wait to share more travel posts with you soon!

No Bake Birthday Cake Oreo Icebox Cake – a messy mixture of chocolate cream and Oreos with a whole heap of sprinkles thrown in for good measure.
Ingredients
- 720ml (3 cups) thickened or heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons icing or powdered sugar
- 240ml (1 cup) milk
- 40 birthday cake flavoured Oreos, plus extra for decorating
- 4 tablespoons coloured sprinkles
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add your cream and beat with an electric mixer (or by hand with a whisk) until soft peaks form. Remove one cup of cream and set aside in the fridge. Then sift in the cocoa powder and icing sugar into the remaining cream and gently fold through until you have a lovely chocolate cream.
- Pour your milk into a bowl. Then dip your Oreos into the milk one at a time and place them in the bottom of a 9 inch springform baking tin, so they form one layer. Spoon over a generous layer of chocolate cream, around half of the mixture, until all the Oreos are covered – go right to the edges. Sprinkle over one tablespoon of sprinkles. Then repeat with another layer of Oreos, dipping them in milk, and then layering them on top of the chocolate cream. Add the remaining chocolate cream and then add another tablespoon of sprinkles.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 4-6 hours or overnight. To serve, place the extra plain whipped cream in a small piping bag with round tip and pipe the cream around the edges and then add extra sprinkles on top.

Alright, I don’t know if I can wait for another birthday to come around to try this beauty. I mean, it’s always somebody’s birthday to celebrate somewhere, right?! Riiiiight. 🙂
Oh absolutely! Let’s celebrate it! 😉 hahaha
Hey i did it,
it was soo yummy thank you for your best recipe.
Hi, so glad to hear you enjoyed the recipe! It is one of my favourites. Thanks for your lovely comment!
What is the prep time?
Hi Brittany, the cake only takes about 15-20 minutes to put together but it is best if you let it sit overnight if you can. Hope you enjoy it!
Wow! How can I pass this up? I can’t!
So many of my favourite things here!!! I wish it were my birthday!
…. I don’t even have the words to describe how badly I want to shove this whole thing in my mouth right NOW. It looks SO GOOD!!!
What a rich, irresistible dessert! Perfect for summer—and my Oreo loving family would adore it!
Thanks so much Liz! Yes, just perfect for every Oreo-lover! 😉
I haven’t tried the birthday cake Oreos yet. Need to fix that!
This icebox cake looks perfectly delicious for a summer celebration!
Oh you need to Christin, they are so good! 🙂
Could this be any more gorgeous?? Pretty sure I’d have a tough time not eating the entire thing… DO NOT leave me alone with this!
Aww thank you so much Sues!
Oh Ice Box Cake you have stolen my heart….I loved a similar dessert we used to make as kids, and now as a grown up I don’t think I’ve had it for at least 15 years. I need to make this happen. You made this happen Jess!
Also, happy upcoming birthday! One of the truest pleasures of being a grown up: envisioning and creating your own fantasy birthday cake!
You totally need to make this happen Amy! 😉 Thanks so much, cake always tastes better at birthdays right?
WOW. This is once incredible cake! Pinned!
Thanks so much Thalia!
Woooooooooow – as soon as I saw this, my eyes seriously lit up. This is complete sugary heaven for me. My sweet tooth just went crazy. I am in love with this dessert! The images are so mouthwatering, and I love the sprinkles on top!!
My eyes always light up at the sight of sprinkles too! You are too kind Harriet! 🙂 Thank you!
This looks magnificent, Jess! I think I’ve already expressed my love of Oreos to you, so this cake is the cake I would want to eat everyday!! I’d probably have to buy two packs of Oreos just because I’d be eating them as I assemble the cake! I love the colorful sprinkles too – so pretty and fun for a party 🙂 This will definitely be pinned and made this summer!! Thanks Jess <3
Hahaha you and me both Beeta! One Oreo for the cake, one Oreo for me. And those Birthday Cake Oreos are totally addictive! 🙂 Thanks so much for your kind comment!
This looks absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Growing up I always asked for Oreo ice cream cakes instead of a traditional layer or sheet cake, so this is right up my alley! Can’t wait to make this for a few friends who have birthdays coming up!!
Oooh sounds like you and I have similar tastebuds! I love ice cream cakes too! Thanks so much for visiting Leah! 🙂
This looks so good, Jess! Oreos are definitely my favourite cookie too! Wishing I had a slice of this right now! 😀
Thanks so much Jess!
Our Oreos might be better, but you have Tim Tams in Australia! I miss Tim Tams so much and the American version just doesn’t compare plus we don’t have as many flavors.
PS- That cake looks amazing!
Hahaha that is true Carly, we do have Tim Tams and lots of them! I personally would rather Oreos than Tim Tams but I guess the grass is always greener 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by!
Wow, this looks like my type of cake! It was my birthday just last week and I wish I had known about this cake then, I would have made it for sure!
Aww that’s so sweet, thank you Lauren! And Happy Birthday for last week!
