This decadent Oreo icebox cake is incredibly easy to make and requires only six ingredients. It's a perfect dessert for kids' birthday parties that doesn't require heating up the kitchen. As is, this cooling cake offers a delightful mint-chocolate flavor profile, but feel free to switch things up by using your favorite Oreo cookie flavor–just leave out the fresh mint.
