You guys! I think I’m addicted to Oreos. I told you how I love the new Oreo Thins a few weeks ago (remember when I made those crazy Oreo Cookie Dough Smores?) but now I’ve discovered Strawberry Oreos and I can’t EVEN. They taste like strawberry milk! Which I love love love.
So naturally, I had to create a recipe using them. Drum roll please…introducing the legendary Strawberry Oreo Chocolate Icebox Cake. A no bake, luscious dessert that comes together in a matter of minutes but looks, well, pretty darn delish – don’t you think?
I have been ALL over the no bake recipes lately. Remember a few weeks ago when I shared my Chocolate Chip Cookie Icebox Cake? I still dream about that one. This no bake cake is made using a ton of Strawberry Oreos, chocolate whipped cream and fresh strawberries. Easy, tasty and pretty #winning.
All you have to do is whip that cream, dunk those Oreos in a little milk and layer ‘em up. But you will have to wait overnight for the cake to ‘set’ or rather the cookies to soften. But honestly, it still tastes pretty great when they are a little hard. I mean Oreos and cream? Yes.
How are you going this week? Can you believe it’s MAY? I can’t. I heard the other day that time speeds up, or the feeling of time, as you get older. I feel ancient because the days are just flying by right now. Honestly, it will be Christmas before we know it.
It wasn’t long after that discussion that I got sent one of those ‘see how old you are’ websites. You know the ones right? Where you submit a photo and it guesses how old you are? Well I uploaded my photo and it said 33. I am not even 30. Talk about an outrage.
One thing that does make me act like a kid again though is dessert or candy or ice cream. I immediately turn into a five year old kid who can’t wipe the grin off her face. I get genuinely excited. Like I am now. Even though I am not eating this cake, I am looking at these pictures and it reminds me of how much fun it was to create (and eat).
Icebox cakes are so cool. I’ll never forget the very first one I ever tried. It was at Magnolia Bakery in New York and it was their Snickers Icebox Pie. If you ever visit, order it. With a tub of their Banana Pudding on the side. Heaven.
Let’s Bake
Strawberry Oreo Chocolate Icebox Cake
A no bake icebox cake with layers of Oreo cookies, chocolate whipped cream and fresh strawberries.
Ingredients
- 600 ml (2 and 1/2 cups) thickened or heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons icing or powdered sugar
- 280 grams (approximately 38 cookies) Strawberry Oreos, plus an extra 3 cookies for decorating
- 240 ml (1 cup) milk
- 250 grams (1 cup) fresh strawberries, halved
Instructions
- Prepare a 9 inch round spring form baking tin by greasing the bottom and sides with a tiny bit of butter (this is optional). Next, whip your cream using an electric beater until it forms stiff peaks. Sift in the cocoa powder and icing or powdered sugar.
- To assemble, simply dunk each Oreo in your milk (for around 2 seconds) and then arrange in a single layer across the bottom of your cake tin. Don’t worry too much about any gaps. Then pile on half of your whipped chocolate cream and spread it across the cookies in one even layer.
- Repeat with another layer of Oreos, dunking and then layering them on top of the cream. Then add the remaining cream and smooth it out to form an even layer. Cover and place in the fridge for at least 8 hours or even better, overnight.
- Before serving, remove the cream filling from your extra 3 Oreo cookies and crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Gently run a butter knife around the edge of your cake tin and remove the side of the tin. Sprinkle over the Oreo crumbs. Then add your strawberries around the edges. Cut and serve.
Notes
You can eat this cake after 4-6 hours (like I did) but the cookie won’t be completely soft.

So easy to make and you will impress your guests. I made this for a football party and everyone loved it. I could not find strawberry Oreos so i went with the original.

This looks amazing! I’m wondering if you think this style of ice box cake would work with coconut cream, so as to be vegan? I’ve made chocolate ripple cakes with coconut cream before, but I’m wondering if it would be stable enough to hold the multiple layers of cookies, in order to be served as a round cake. Have you ever tried it? <3
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Sophie, thanks for your comment! I haven’t made an icebox cake using coconut cream before so I can’t say for sure. But if you had success with a choc ripple cake, it might be worth a try? Let me know how you go! 🙂
Kathy says
It looks like it took hours to make! Of course it would only take minutes to eat! This looks delicious!
Jessica Holmes says
Thanks Kathy! It is so easy! 🙂
Mon Petit Four says
I love love love icebox cakes, especially when they include Oreos! Such a great idea to incorporate strawberry Oreos here <3
Jessica Holmes says
Aren’t they the best!

I’ve always thought that time feels like it goes faster because the older you get, the smaller of a percentage of your life a year becomes. Like when you’re 2, a year is half of the time you’ve been alive! By the time you’re 50, it’s 1/50th! Crazy crazy crazy though that yes, it is indeed the middle of May. I think I need some Oreos and strawberries to help me deal, hahaha. You sure do love those Oreos, Jess! Don’t worry– I don’t blame you one bit!
Jessica Holmes says
I love that logic! That makes perfect sense Lynn! I do love Oreos – my weakness (one of many!) 😉
Lucy says
Ooh delicious! Chocolate and strawberry are just the best combination! We have SO many family birthdays on at the moment – so thanks for the new inspiration.
Jessica Holmes says
Aw thanks Lucy, this one is perfect for a party!
Denise says
Oh my goodness, this looks too good to be true! I love how easy this looks to make, because I’m the worst at big cakes. Gotta try this!
Jessica Holmes says
Thanks Denise! You will love how easy this dessert is!!!
Elizabeth says
Oooooh girl, you’ve done it again! I love those strawberry Oreos and now I’m cursing your name because I have yet another excuse to buy a package or two. 😉
Jessica Holmes says
Aww thank you Elizabeth! 🙂
Amanda says
Wow, does this look good! What could be wrong about chocolate, Oreos, and strawberries? I want to dig in right now. And have you tried the new cinnamon bun Oreos? If you’re a big fan you’ll probably love them.
Jessica Holmes says
Oh wow! They sound amazing Amanda! I don’t think we have those ones in Australia but I’ll definitely keep my eye out!!
Bianca says
This would be my ideal dessert! I love Oreos too and will defnitely be on the lookout for strawberry oreos. Yummm!
Jessica Holmes says
Thanks Bianca! You will love them! 🙂
Megan says
Strawberry Oreos?!? How did I not know about these? This no bake treat looks phenomenal and perfect for spring!
Jessica Holmes says
Thanks so much Megan! Ooh you must try! 🙂
Amy says
Jessica! This cake is amazing! My mouth is watering just looking at the screen 🙂
I turn into a little kid when dessert comes around too. If it has ice cream, sprinkles, or chocolate (of any form) – I NEED to have it. I will clap my hands excitedly when it is finally presented to me, and end up with it smeared all over my face. My inner child is still very alive! I can’t wait to make this, I’m sure it will be a huge hit with my Oreo and cream loving family (and I can get GF ‘Oreos’ from Woolies 😉
Sure to be a family classic!
Jessica Holmes says
Hahaha I know right? You should see me in a candy store! 😉 I hope you get a chance to try it Amy!
Joanne says
I love no-bake desserts, and love strawberries and chocolate together!
