oreo cool whip cake.

once upon a time i found a really great recipe on pinterest for oreo cool whip cake. except when i followed the link for directions, i discovered that there were very few directions, and what was written was in spanish. 

so, taking the above pictures as my guide, i made my own oreo cool whip cake instead!
and YOU GUYS. it was fantastic.

(EDIT: i found the original website that this picture came from! go here and give them credit, because they did a way better job than i did.)

oreo cool whip cake

ingredients:

two packages oreos (i used one double stuff and one chocolate cream)

one tub of cool whip (the bigger size. i think what is pictured is too much. only use one.)

about 1 1/2 cups of milk

chocolate and caramel syrups

1. dip each oreo in the milk and hold it under for about 10 seconds. it might feel like too long, but trust me on this one. layer the dipped cookies on the bottom of your glass 9x13 pan.

{i did the chocolate cookies first}

{one layer done}

2. spread a layer of cool whip over the cookie layer. i think it serves easier if this layer is thinner than the top layer, so use less than half of the tub. maybe like a 1/3 of it?

{before i was done. i used more cool whip than this.}

3. drizzle the top of that layer with caramel and chocolate syrup.

4. do step one again with your other package of cookies. i filled up the edges by breaking a couple cookies in half.

{had to use my iphone for this cause my camera was dead. hence, the poor quality pictures.}

5. layer the rest of your cool whip on top.

6. mash up whatever oreos you have leftover (i only had like 3 of each kind. but maybe i ate some along the way so...) and sprinkles over top of the cake. then drizzle with more chocolate and caramel syrup. yummmmmm.

then i would stick it in the freezer for a bit before serving, just so the cool whip isn't too melty. 

{i served mine at a picnic and it got a bit melty on the walk over. but still devilishly delicious!}

this cake is super easy, super yummy, and nice and cool for a summer bbq or picnic.
enjoy!
