No Bake Chips Ahoy! Icebox Cake (4 Ingredients)
Description
The recipe assembles a dessert by layering whole Chips Ahoy cookies with whipped cream made from heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla. The process involves beating the cream to stiff peaks before layering cookies and whipped cream in a shallow pan. This layering is repeated to build height, finishing with whipped cream topped by crushed cookies for texture and decoration.
Refrigerating the dish for at least six hours allows the cookies to absorb moisture from the cream, softening their texture and binding the layers into a cake-like form. The vanilla and sugar add subtle sweetness that complements the cookie's distinct chocolate chip and buttery flavors, while the whipped cream provides lightness.
This dessert is practical when you want a no-bake sweet treat that can be prepared ahead of time. It is suitable for serving chilled and works well for casual gatherings or as a refreshing end to a meal.
If preferred, commercial whipped topping like Cool Whip can substitute the whipped cream, omitting added sugar and vanilla. The recipe is straightforward with minimal ingredients, highlighting the cookie's flavor and soft texture after refrigeration.
Ingredients
- 45 cookies approx. 2 packages plus 2 extra for garnish, Original Chips Ahoy brand
- 4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Place cold cream, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat on high until stiff peaks form, set aside.
- Lay cookies out to cover the bottom of a 9×13 pan. (My rows were 3 x 15 cookies). Spread ⅓ of the whipped cream on top of the cookie layer. Repeat two more times finishing with a layer of whipped cream.
- Crush remaining cookies and sprinkle on top of cake. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
Notes
- Store-bought whipped topping can replace whipped cream; omit added sugar and vanilla when using it.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow cookies to soften and layers to set.
