Ingredients
Scale
- 32 Oreo cookies (regular or golden), crushed (about 3 cups)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Fresh strawberries, sliced (for the red stripes)
- Blueberries (for the blue field of the flag)
- Extra crushed Oreos or white chocolate chips (optional, for contrast in layers)
Instructions
- Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you don’t have a processor, put the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs. Set aside about ½ cup of crumbs for topping and decoration.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes with a mixer.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it. Then fold in the remaining whipped cream carefully—don’t overmix.
- Start by spreading a layer of crushed Oreos evenly on the bottom of your dish (about 1 cup). Then add a generous layer of the creamy mixture on top (about 1/3 of it), smoothing it out gently with your spatula. Repeat the layers until all Oreos and cream are used, finishing with a creamy layer.
- Arrange blueberries in the top left corner to mimic the blue field. Lay out sliced strawberries in neat rows for the red stripes. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs between the stripes to form the white stripes.
- Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set and meld flavors.
- Slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts and serve.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Whip cream to stiff peaks but avoid overwhipping to prevent graininess. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture to keep it light and fluffy. Chill at least 4 hours or overnight for best results. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean slicing.
