A no-bake, creamy lemon icebox cake layered with Oreo cookies, perfect for summer and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (160 g) lemon curd (store-bought or homemade)
  • ⅓ cup (40 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 2 sleeves), original or golden Oreos
  • Optional: Fresh lemon zest for garnish
  • Optional: Extra crushed Oreos for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill the heavy cream and soften the cream cheese by leaving it out for about 30 minutes.
  2. Pre-measure powdered sugar, lemon curd, and vanilla extract.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  5. Slowly add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and mix until combined.
  6. Fold in the lemon curd until the mixture is silky and uniform in color.
  7. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon-cream cheese mixture, keeping it fluffy and airy.
  8. In a 9×9-inch baking dish, layer Oreo cookies at the bottom.
  9. Spread about one-third of the lemon cream filling evenly over the cookies.
  10. Repeat layering Oreos and lemon cream two more times, finishing with a layer of lemon cream on top.
  11. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, ideally overnight.
  12. Before serving, garnish with fresh lemon zest and crushed Oreos.
  13. Slice with a knife warmed under hot water for clean cuts.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results. Soften cream cheese at room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not overmix whipped cream after folding to keep it light and fluffy. Chill at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture. Warm knife under hot water before slicing for clean cuts. Adjust powdered sugar to balance lemon curd tartness.
