38golden Oreo cookiesdivided into 16, 16, and 6 cookies
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form. You will want to start on low speed, then gradually increase the speed on the mixer until you are on high speed. This will help to keep the heavy cream from splattering out of the bowl when being beaten.
Place 16 of the golden Oreo cookies in an even layer on the bottom of a square 8x8-inch baking dish.
Using an offset spatula, spread half of the whipped cream over the first layer of golden Oreo cookies in an even layer. Be sure to try to push some of the whipped cream in between the cookies.
Add another 16 golden Oreo cookies in an even layer over the whipped cream.
Top the second layer of cookies with the remaining half of the whipped cream. Spread the whipped cream topping evenly over the cookies.
In a large zip-top bag, add the remaining 6 golden Oreo cookies and crush them until they are slightly chunky cookie crumbs.
Sprinkle the crushed cookies evenly over the top layer of whipped cream.
Refrigerate the golden Oreo cookie dessert for at least 8 hours, but up to overnight for best results.
Notes
Yields: 9 (approximately 2 ¾ x 2 ¾ inch) servingStorage:
To Store: Store this dessert in the refrigerator, lightly covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days.
To Freeze: I do not recommend freezing this dessert for long-term storage as the heavy cream will break down when thawed.
Tips:
This golden Oreo dessert should be served chilled for the best results.
If you want nice clean cuts, you can place your dish in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to really firm up before slicing. Do not freeze for long periods of time.
Any brand of golden or vanilla cream cookies will work in this recipe. You could even use the golden Oreo cookie thins and add a third layer of cookies.
When spreading the whipped cream, be sure to push some of the mixture in between the cookies.
Crush your Oreo cookies in a large zip-top bag until they are slightly chunky cookie crumbs.
