Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
- 1 cup (240 ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Directions:
- Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This luscious mixture will form the base of our icebox cake.
- Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This fluffy whipped cream adds a light and airy texture to our decadent dessert.
- Combining Elements: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Be sure to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream as you fold it in.
- Soaking Oreo Cookies: Dunk each Oreo cookie into the cooled brewed coffee, ensuring they are well soaked but not overly soggy. Line the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with a single layer of soaked cookies.
- Layering: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the layer of soaked cookies, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.
- Repeat: Create another layer by placing another layer of soaked cookies over the cream cheese mixture, followed by the remaining cream cheese mixture.
- Chilling: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set to perfection.
- Finishing Touches: Just before serving, dust the top of the cake with cocoa powder for that classic tiramisu touch. Garnish with chocolate shavings to add an extra layer of decadence and visual appeal.
- Serving: Slice into this luscious Tiramisu Oreo Icebox Cake and savor every bite of its creamy goodness. Serve chilled for the ultimate indulgence.
