How to Make Funfetti Oreo Icebox Cake (Step-by-Step)
1. Make the Whipped Cream
Whip heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
Set aside—try not to eat it all!
2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling
Beat softened cream cheese until perfectly smooth.
Add sweetened condensed milk and mix until creamy.
3. Combine
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Stir in 1 cup of rainbow sprinkles.
4. Prepare the Cookie Layer
Dip each Oreo briefly (1 second!) into milk.
Layer them in your 9×9-inch dish.
5. Layer the Dessert
Spread a layer of cream mixture over the Oreos.
Repeat with cookies + cream until the dish is full.
End with a thick layer of the cream mixture on top.
6. Add the Magic
Sprinkle the remaining rainbow sprinkles over the top.
7. Chill
Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight = BEST).
8. Slice & Serve
Cut into squares, serve chilled, and watch faces light up!
