Rainbow Sprinkle Vanilla Icebox Cake is made with simple and luscious homemade whipped cream. It’s got crispy outer cookies and sweet, softened inner layers. I did share, but I really, really, very much truly wish that I had eaten the entire recipe myself.

Happy 3rd Birthday to meeee! The Every Kitchen is THREE years old! Can you believe it? I’m doing a little happy dance – you know the one – hands in the air, head bob, a little uncoordinated shoulder shrug and a shimmy-shake. My blog baby is three and I’ve got Rainbow Sprinkle Vanilla Icebox Cake.

You guys know, I’m an Icebox Cake Freak. But did you also know that I’m a Rainbow Sprinkle Freak? I’m that 29-year-old girl who still pours rainbow sprinkles on her froyo, ratio approximately 1:1. Anything with rainbow sprinkles, and you better believe I’m trying it. Rainbow Sprinkle Rice Krispie Treat? Uh-huh. Rainbow Sprinkle Sugar Cookie? You bet. Rainbow Sprinkle Pesto Pasta? I mean, I would def give it a try.

This recipe is a simple twist on Magnolia Bakery’s Chocolate Wafer Icebox Cake, AKA my favorite dessert in the history of anything and everything Danielle’s ever eaten. But ya know what? I’m a white-on-white girl when it comes to cake, so it seemed appropriate to try making my favorite dessert even better. I don’t know that it’s better, per say, but I will definitely put Rainbow Sprinkle Vanilla Icebox Cake on equal footing with Magnolia Bakery’s.

It’s still got those crispy outer cookies, the softened inner layers with rich and luscious and simple homemade whipped cream. I use Vanilla Oreo Thins, so there’s also a sticky flavor of the Oreo crème. Plus the crunchy sprinkles that just make eating cake FUN. I mean, eating any cake is fun, but eating Rainbow Sprinkle Vanilla Icebox Cake is CAPITAL FUN!

Truth be told, I’ve been sitting on this recipe for a while. I wanted to make Rainbow Sprinkle Vanilla Icebox Cake for my 2nd birthday, but I was trying this healthy eating thing and I never made myself a birthday treat. That is just sad! What is a birthday without cake?! And rainbow sprinkles?! It is no birthday at all!

So one day, in maybe March or April of 2017, I had a little too much to drink one Saturday night and I came home after midnight and thought, “I want Rainbow Sprinkle Vanilla Icebox Cake NOW.” And so at one a.m., and under the influence (just a teensy bit though, I think, or else how would I have gotten the cake to the point of perfection you see here?), I made this lovely cake.

In 2017, I’m still doing this healthy eating thing, but I have many more Chicago friends to pawn desserts off on. I ate a (huge) slice myself and then, before I could eat any more, I gave some to the boy and his brother and to my Chicago bestie and her roommate. And then I really, really, very much truly wished that I had eaten the entire Rainbow Sprinkle Vanilla Icebox Cake myself.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 10.1-ounce packages Vanilla Oreo Thins* (or substitute Nilla Wafers)
  • Rainbow Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. On a flat serving plate, spread a thin layer of whipped cream to hold the bottom layer of cookies in place. Arrange 7 cookies side by side in a circle, keeping 1 cookie in the center.
  2. Spread 1/2 cup whipped cream on top of the cookie layer in a circle. Repeat with remaining cookies and cream, making 8 layers of cookies (or more, as long as your cake isn’t falling over!) and ending with a layer of cream (there will be some cookies left over). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Before serving, sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles.

Recipe Notes

I made this with Vanilla Oreo Thins, but you could also use Nilla Wafers.

The secret to my recipe for Guinness Chocolate Cake with Bailey's Buttercream is to reduce the stout first to give you a deeply malted and moist crumb.
