Ingredients

2 packages (14.3 oz each) Mint Oreo cookies

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup whipped topping (store-bought or homemade)

Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Additional Mint Oreo crumbles (for topping, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the necessary ingredients for the cake. Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy blending without lumps.

Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes creamy and smooth. Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is well combined and silky.

Whip the Heavy Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream with a mixer until soft peaks start to form, which should take approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Once achieved, carefully fold in the whipped topping into the whipped cream mixture until fully blended, taking care to preserve the light and fluffy texture.

Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the prepared cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream mixture. Continue folding until the two mixtures are fully incorporated and smooth without overmixing.

Layer the Cake: In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer your cake beginning with a thin spread of the cream mixture at the bottom. Take 12 Mint Oreo cookies and, if you like, dip them briefly in milk before arranging them in a single layer on top of the cream.

Repeat the Layers: Add another layer of the cream mixture over the dipped Oreos, then continue the process with another layer of dipped Mint Oreos. Repeat until all ingredients are used up, ensuring the final layer is a generous spread of the cream mixture to top it off.

Chill in the Fridge: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, though allowing it to rest overnight will result in a better-set, cohesive texture.

Serve and Garnish: Once set, slice the cake into squares for serving. For a beautiful presentation, garnish with fresh mint leaves and sprinkle with extra crushed Mint Oreos on top, if desired.

Enjoy! Serve chilled and relish every creamy, minty bite of this refreshing dessert.
