Description

Indulge in this decadent Black and White Cheesecake Icebox Cake, featuring layers of creamy whipped cream and cream cheese mixture nestled between crisp chocolate wafer cookies, all topped with a luscious semisweet chocolate ganache and crushed Oreo cookies. This no-bake dessert is perfect for entertaining or a special treat, requiring only refrigeration to set overnight.

Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Mixture

  • 5 1/2 cups heavy cream, divided
  • 2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese, softened

Cookies

  • 2 (9-oz.) boxes chocolate wafer cookies
  • 1/3 cup Oreo cookies, crushed

Ganache

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Make cream cheese mixture: In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat 3 cups of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Then add the softened cream cheese and continue beating until the mixture is fluffy and well combined.
  2. Layer the cake: On a cake stand, arrange six chocolate wafer cookies in a circle and place one wafer in the center. Using a rubber spatula, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the wafers, ensuring full coverage. Next, layer another set of wafer cookies on top, overlapping slightly so they are not directly stacked. Continue alternating layers of wafer cookies and cream cheese mixture until all ingredients are used up. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow the cake to set.
  3. Prepare ganache: When ready to serve, warm the remaining 2 1/2 cups of heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped semisweet chocolate placed in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 3 minutes, then gently fold the mixture until the ganache is smooth, glossy, and well combined.
  4. Assemble and serve: Pour the chocolate ganache evenly over the chilled cake. Sprinkle the crushed Oreo cookies on top as garnish. Slice and serve chilled for a creamy, chocolatey dessert experience.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Refrigerate the assembled cake overnight to allow the cookies to soften and the flavors to meld perfectly.
  • Use a high-quality semisweet chocolate for a richer ganache flavor.
  • For a different twist, try adding a layer of fresh berries between cookie layers.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
