- Arrange half of the sliced strawberries on top of the whipped cream layer.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining cookie mixture, whipped cream, and sliced strawberries.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the cake to set.

The Strawberry Oreo Icebox Cake with added whipped cream is a delightful dessert that combines the classic flavors of strawberries and cream with the beloved Oreo cookie. This no-bake treat has a rich history, with its origins dating back to the mid-20th century when icebox cakes became popular in American households. Renowned chefs and home cooks alike have put their own spin on this dessert, adding whipped cream to enhance its light and airy texture. The dish has become a staple in many Southern and Midwestern kitchens, often enjoyed during summer gatherings and potlucks. For the best version of this dish, fresh strawberries and high-quality whipped cream are essential. The strawberries should be ripe and juicy, adding a burst of natural sweetness to the dessert. As for the whipped cream, using real cream and whipping it to the perfect consistency is key to achieving a luscious and creamy topping. While the traditional recipe calls for Oreo cookies, some variations use chocolate wafer cookies or even graham crackers for a unique twist. Regardless of the cookie choice, the layers of cookies, strawberries, and whipped cream meld together in the refrigerator, creating a decadent and refreshing dessert that's perfect for any occasion.
