Notes

  • Use soft oatmeal cookies for the most tender icebox cake texture.
  • Keep the heavy cream cold before whipping.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps.
  • Fold the whipped cream gently to keep the filling light.
  • Use edible cookie dough that is specifically made to be eaten without baking.
  • For cleaner slices, use a sharp knife warmed briefly under hot water and dried before cutting.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • The assembled cake can be frozen for up to 1 month.
