How to Make Salted Caramel Oreo Icebox Cake
Ingredients:
– 2 packs of Oreo cookies (around 30 cookies)
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 cup salted caramel sauce, divided
– A pinch of sea salt for garnish
Directions:
1. Whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
2. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream on the bottom of a 9×9 inch dish. Arrange a single layer of Oreos over the whipped cream. Remember to break a few cookies to fill the gaps if need be.
3. Drizzle a generous amount of salted caramel sauce over the Oreos. Add a layer of whipped cream on top.
4. Repeat the layering of Oreos, caramel sauce, and whipped cream, ensuring that the top layer is whipped cream.
5. Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours, or until the cookies soften and the flavors well blend. For the best results, chill overnight.
6. Before serving, drizzle more caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with a touch of sea salt, then slice and serve.
