A festive and easy no-bake ice cream sandwich cake featuring layers of red strawberries, white whipped cream, and blue blueberries on a crunchy Oreo crust. Perfect for patriotic celebrations and summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 ½ cups crushed)
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 package (8 count) vanilla ice cream sandwiches, slightly softened
  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional garnishes: extra berries, red white and blue sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or place in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  2. In a bowl, combine crushed Oreos with melted butter until mixture is well coated and feels like damp sand.
  3. Press Oreo mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Compact firmly with the back of a spoon or flat glass.
  4. Bake crust for 8-10 minutes to set. Let cool completely.
  5. In a large bowl, beat cold heavy cream with powdered sugar, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (3-5 minutes).
  6. Spread a thin layer of whipped topping over cooled Oreo crust.
  7. Arrange a layer of softened vanilla ice cream sandwiches side-by-side to cover the surface.
  8. Spread a layer of whipped topping gently over the ice cream sandwiches.
  9. Scatter sliced strawberries evenly over the whipped topping.
  10. Add another layer of ice cream sandwiches, then spread more whipped topping on top.
  11. Scatter fresh blueberries evenly over the whipped topping.
  12. Finish with a final layer of whipped topping, smoothing it nicely with a spatula.
  13. Cover cake tightly with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  14. Before serving, let cake sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier slicing.
  15. Garnish with extra berries and festive sprinkles if desired.

Notes

Soften ice cream sandwiches for 5-10 minutes before assembling to make layering easier. Use cold heavy cream and chilled bowl for best whipped cream results. Bake the Oreo crust to avoid sogginess. Chill assembled cake at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor melding. Use a warm knife for clean slicing. Cream cheese in whipped topping adds tang and firmness.
