Ingredients

48 Golden Oreo Thins
4 cups cool whip (or 2 cups heavy whipping cream + ½ cup powdered sugar whipped to stiff peaks)
8 oz block cream cheese softened
1 ½ tsp vanilla
½ tsp almond extract (optional)
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup rainbow sprinkles plus more for serving

Instructions

Prepare The Cream Layer: Using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract (if using), on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the cool whip until fully incorporated. Gently fold in sprinkles, trying to stir as gently and little as possible so they don’t bleed too much.
Assemble The Icebox Cake: Spread a very thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom of a 8x8 inch pan, approx. 3-4 Tbsp. is what I use. Add a single layer of Golden Oreo thins (16 cookies—will easily go 4x4 and then the outer edge you have to break in half) to cover the bottom of the pan.
Spread approx. ⅓ of the cream cheese/whipped cream mixture evenly over the layer of Golden Oreos. Place 16 more Golden Oreos in an even layer over the mixture to cover.
Spread a second layer of the cream cheese mixture over the Golden Oreos. Spread evenly. Cover with a final layer of Golden Oreos and spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over top.
Chill and Serve: Chill for at the very least for about 4-5 hours or until the cookies are softened and easy to cut through. I prefer chilling overnight for at least about 12 hours to allow the Oreos to really soften and become more cake like.
Add more sprinkles over top of the cake before serving. You can pipe whipped cream over each slice with some more rainbow sprinkles and a golden Oreo thin or mini Golden Oreo! Refrigerate leftovers for about 3-4 days.

Notes

For ease in slicing, you can freeze for about 30 minutes before serving. Run a sharp knife under hot water and then slice, wiping clean each time and then using a thin metal spatula to scoop slices out. It will get messy though–promise!

Storage: Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days. The texture will be ideal within the first 48 hours and the cookies will become a bit more soggy in later days, but it is still edible and we continue to eat off it! You can freeze this dessert in a freezer-safe sealed container for about 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator overnight.

Make sure to chill the dessert until the cookies have softened. I like to prep this the night before I plan to serve it to give it enough time to soften the Oreos enough that they become cake-like.

Use sprinkles that are colored all the way through versus dyed only on the outside. Some sprinkles are white inside and colored only on the outside. For the most color, make sure your jimmies have solid color through the enitre rod.
