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.

- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh mint

Beat heavy cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Add powdered sugar, and beat until stiff peaks form. Place 3/4 cup whipped cream, covered, in the refrigerator to use later for topping. Stir chopped mint into remaining whipped cream.

Line an 8 ½ x 4 ½-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. Remove tops of the 7 Oreo cookies, and discard tops. Shingle cookies, green filling side down, along the center of the prepared pan. Spread half of the mint whipped cream in an even layer over the cookies.

Roughly chop 12 of the Oreo Thins, and sprinkle evenly over whipped cream. Spread remaining mint whipped cream evenly over chopped cookies.

Screwdriver Cocktail
The screwdriver drink is an easy but refreshing cocktail made by combining orange juice and vodka over ice. It reportedly gets its name from the original tool used to stir the drink — a screwdriver. You'll get equally good results using a spoon!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting
This tastes exactly like cookie dough, for those of you who 'love' cookie dough! No eggs added, so safe to eat as a snack...well maybe not for your thighs. Excellent to make a little thicker and eat on a spoon or add more cream or milk and make a dip out of it!
