This Tiramisu Oreo Icebox Cake is a delicious no-bake cake consisting of coffee-soaked Oreos layered in a sweetened whipped cream cheese mixture and chocolate shavings!
Tiramisu is one of my all-time favorite desserts. I simply cannot resist it whenever I see it on the menu.
There is something so simple about it, but it packs tremendous flavor and all the components work so harmoniously together. How can you go wrong with chocolate and coffee?
I have a few tiramisu-inspired recipes on my blog, but this new version very well may be my new favorite! Not only is it simple to assemble, it tastes AMAZING. Who can resist Oreos soaked in coffee and layered with sweetened whipped cream cheese and shaved chocolate? Certainly not I.
I’ve been trying to come up with awesome summertime recipes that don’t require an oven and icebox cakes are one of my go-tos. They’re a cinch to whip up, look beautiful with all their glorious layers and taste fantastic. Plus, you can totally experiment with whatever flavor profiles or mix-ins your heart desires.
For this version, it is all about tiramisu flavors. We’re taking the classic coffee, cream and chocolate flavors and blending them together in this show-stopping No-Bake Tiramisu Oreo Icebox Cake!
Like any self-respecting icebox cake, you need the “cake” part. Usually this is graham crackers or some kind of cookie, not an actual cake layer which would get far too soggy. For this, we’re obviously using Oreo cookies! I used regular Double Stuf Oreos, but now I see they make a tiramisu Oreo which would be incredible if you can find it! You could also use the latte Oreos I’ve seen floating around.
We’ll briefly dunk each Oreo cookie into a creamy coffee mixture, then assemble them in layers in a springform pan. In between the Oreo layers, we’ll layer on a cream cheese/whipped cream mixture that is SO delicious. After that, we’ll garnish with shaved chocolate, then repeat the layers.
The hardest part is waiting for the cake to set in the fridge – a good 4-6 hours, preferably overnight to really allow the cookies to absorb that coffee mixture and have all the layers and flavors meld together. Just before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
Not only is this Tiramisu Oreo Icebox Cake gorgeous, it is SO delicious – rich yet light and fluffy with chocolate and coffee flavors. You’re going to love it!
No-Bake Tiramisu Oreo Icebox Cake
Ingredients
- 2 packages Double Stuf Oreos may use seasonal tiramisu-flavored Oreos or latte Oreos if you can find them
- 2/3 cup brewed black coffee at room temperature
- 1 Tbsp milk
- 1¾ cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 8 ounces (One package) cream cheese softened
- 2/3 cup granulated white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bar
- Additional whipped cream and chocolate curls for decoration - optional but recommended
Instructions
- Lightly grease the bottom and sides of a 9" or 10" springform pan. Set aside. Meanwhile, mix the 1 Tablespoon milk and the black coffee into a small bowl; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the heavy whipping cream and confectioners' sugar together with the whisk attachment on HIGH speed for about 5-7 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Spoon the whipped cream into a medium bowl and set aside.
- In the same bowl for the stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, granulated sugar and vanilla extract with the paddle attachment until soft and creamy, about 2 minutes. Fold the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture with a rubber spatula until no streaks of whipped cream remain and mixture is fully incorporated.
- Spread a little bit of the cream cheese mixture into the bottom of the springform pan to help adhere the first Oreo layer. Dunk each Oreo, one at a time, into the coffee mixture and layer around the bottom of the pan, breaking Oreo pieces if necessary to fit. Spread 1/3 of the cream cheese mousse mixture evenly over the first Oreo layer; grate some of the chocolate from the chocolate bar over the cream cheese mousse layer. Repeat with Oreo layer, then cream cheese mousse, then grated chocolate layers. Repeat once more for a total of three layers.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or up to overnight, to allow cake to set and flavors to meld. Just before serving, garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate curls, if desired.

Looks delicious! Can I use mascarpone cheese in place of the cream cheese? I have some I need to use up. Thanks.
thedomesticrebel says
Hi Tiffany, yes you may!
Linda says
I don’t drink coffee. Is there a substitute for coffee? I hate buying tiramisu at stores and your recipes look so good.
thedomesticrebel says
Hi Linda, just use milk instead of the coffee.
Cecile says
Perfect for the Fourth of July … immediate family! I threw in red/white/blue jimmies in the cream mixture for a little holiday color!
Thank you for your recipes and have a safe and blessed weekend with your family!
Nicole says
Super easy and delicious plus it looked fancy! My boyfriend and I prefer more of a coffee taste so next time we will definitely be making it with the coffee flavored Oreos!! Thank you for the recipe.
Cristina says
Can a hand mixer be used!
thedomesticrebel says
Of course! It’ll just take a little bit longer to whip the whipped cream!

Milk and cookies on steroids!!!
Definitely found my new favorite. This cake is gonna be my new sidekick to ALL the dinner parties. I made this cake to switch up our 2020 Thanksgiving because in 2020 traditions are out the window.
Only thing I would change how I made the recipe is that I shoved as many cookies onto each layer as I could subsequently running out of cookies. I also spread the cream mixture up the sides which left a muddled mess when I took off the ring. Next time I’m going to space out the oreos around the edge and spread the filling JUST to the edge of the oreos and hopefully end up with something like the photos!!
10/10 did not disappoint!!
sierra says
Is it okay to use normal Oreos or we should use double stuffed?
thedomesticrebel says
Hi Sierra, you can use either!
D says
Can you omit the milk and just dip the cookies in coffee?
thedomesticrebel says
Hi D, yes you can!
Arlene says
Can this cake be frozen and thawed fridge
thedomesticrebel says
Hi Arlene, I have not tried freezing it so I cannot say for sure, but I don’t know that it would thaw well.
Jennifer says
Have you tried adding Kaluha, like traditional tiramisu?
thedomesticrebel says
Hi Jennifer, you totally could add a splash to the liquid mixture!
