Cookies
- 90 Oreo cookies (Double Stuf or regular)
Whipped Cream
- 3 8-ounce tubs Cool Whip, thawed
Others
- 1½–2 cups milk
- Chocolate sauce for drizzling (optional)
- Preparation of Ingredients: Begin by thawing the Cool Whip tubs until they are soft and spreadable. Line a large rectangular or square pan suitable for refrigeration.
- Layering the Oreos: Arrange a layer of Oreo cookies evenly at the bottom of the pan. The cookies should cover the surface completely to form the base of the cake.
- Add the Cool Whip: Spread a generous layer of Cool Whip over the cookies, ensuring the layer is thick enough to create a creamy contrast to the crunchy cookies.
- Milk Soaking: Lightly drizzle or brush the milk over the Oreo layer to soften the cookies for a cake-like texture. Use just enough to moisten without soaking too much.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering Oreos, then Cool Whip, and drizzle with milk until all ingredients are used, finishing with a thick layer of Cool Whip on top.
- Chilling: Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the cookies to soften completely and the flavors to meld.
- Serving: Before serving, optionally drizzle chocolate sauce over the top for added flavor and decoration. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use Double Stuf Oreos.
- Adjust milk quantity as needed to avoid sogginess.
- Can be made a day ahead for convenience.
- Substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream for a fresher taste.
- Chocolate sauce is optional but adds a nice decorative touch.
