Ingredients
- 4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Orange food coloring (gel recommended)
- 2 (14.5-ounce) packages Oreo cookies (approximately 42 cookies)
- Orange icing, for decoration
- Halloween sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
- Line a 9-inch springform pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper, leaving it to stick about an inch above the sides of the pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form (about 5 minutes).
- Divide the whipped cream equally into 3 bowls. Add varying amounts of orange food coloring to each bowl to create different shades of orange, folding the color gently until fully combined.
- Place a single layer of Oreo cookies into the bottom of the pan. Use broken pieces to fill in any gaps.
- Spread one-third of the whipped cream mixture (using the darkest shade of orange) over the cookie layer, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Add a second layer of cookies over the whipped cream, followed by another layer of whipped cream using the second bowl of cream.
- Repeat the process with the final layer of cookies and the last bowl of whipped cream, spreading evenly.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow the cookies to soften.
- Remove the cake from the refrigerator and decorate with orange icing and Halloween sprinkles before serving.
Notes
- For a richer filling, mix cream cheese into the whipped cream.
- Divide whipped cream into multiple bowls and use different food coloring (orange, black, purple) for layered effects.
- Firmer cookies such as chocolate wafers or graham crackers work well if Oreos are unavailable.
- Decorate just before serving to keep toppings fresh.
- Chilling overnight yields the best texture.
