Got Cookies? During the hot summer months, it’s easy to skip making dessert due to not wanting to heat up the kitchen. The answer, of course, is to make a no-bake ice box cake. Ice box cakes consist of cookies and whipped cream; fancier ones can include fruit or jam. The following Oatmeal Cookie Ice Box Cake consists of homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and whipped cream. You can use any oatmeal cookie you like in this easy concoction.

This is a great recipe to make when you have cookies that are getting stale; the whipped cream softens them and makes for a yummy pudding-like dessert. Perfect for busy cooks, this dessert can be made up to three days ahead.

12 Servings

3 cups heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar

24 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Fresh mint, for garnish

1. Line a 7" or 8" springform pan with plastic wrap.
2. Measure the whipping cream and powdered sugar into a large mixer bowl; whip until stiff peaks form.
3. Spread about 1/4 of the mixture over the bottom of the springform pan.
4. Break the cookies into large chunks. Sprinkle 1/3 of the crumbs over the whipped cream in the pan.
