Description
Milk and Cookies Icebox Cake is an easy no-bake dessert that layers store-bought chocolate chip cookies with a luscious, cookie-infused cream cheese whipped filling. Perfect for summer or when you need a crowd-pleasing treat without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (13-oz.) boxes store-bought chocolate chip cookies
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Instructions
- Crush Cookies: Place 15 cookies in a resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin. Reserve a handful of crumbs for decoration and place the rest in a large liquid measuring cup.
- Infuse Cream: Pour the heavy cream over the crushed cookies and let sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavor.
- Strain Cream: Using a fine-mesh strainer, pour the cream into a large bowl, discarding the soaked cookies. Set the cookie-infused cream aside.
- Whip Filling: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy (about 1 minute). Add powdered sugar and mix until smooth. Gradually add the strained cream and whip until soft peaks form.
- Assemble Cake: On a serving plate, spread a thin layer of whipped cream mixture. Layer 8 cookies in a circle with 3 in the center. Spread more whipped cream over cookies. Continue layering, alternating placement, until 6 layers are formed. Finish with a layer of whipped cream.
- Chill: Sprinkle reserved crushed cookies on top. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set.
Notes
- Dairy-Free: Use coconut cream and dairy-free cream cheese.
- Gluten-Free: Substitute with gluten-free chocolate chip cookies.
- Lower Sugar: Use a sugar substitute like erythritol in place of powdered sugar.
- Flavor Twist: Try peanut butter or oatmeal cookies for variety.
