A quick and fuss-free no-bake icebox cake combining the buttery crunch of Golden Oreos with juicy fresh peaches and creamy layers, perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Golden Oreos (about 13 oz or 370 g)
  • 3 medium fresh peaches, thinly sliced
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) whipped topping or heavy cream whipped to soft peaks
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Lemon zest from 1 lemon (optional)
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream mixture: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest if using. Mix well.
  2. Whip the topping: Whip heavy cream or prepare whipped topping until soft peaks form. Gently fold into cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Slice the peaches thinly, about ¼ inch thick.
  4. Assemble the cake: Spread a thin layer of cream mixture in the baking dish. Arrange a layer of Golden Oreos over the cream, breaking some to fill gaps.
  5. Add a layer of cream mixture over the cookies, then scatter peach slices on top. Repeat layers until ingredients are used, finishing with cream on top.
  6. Cover and chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Slice with a sharp knife and serve chilled.

Notes

Chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight for best flavor and texture. If cream feels loose after chilling, whisk briefly before serving. Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut whipped cream for a vegan version. Substitute Golden Oreos with vanilla wafers or gluten-free cookies if needed. Thin peach slices soften nicely but hold shape when chilled.
