Salted Caramel Oreo Icebox Cake - layers of salted caramel cheesecake and Oreo cookies takes this easy cake over the top!!! Awesome dessert recipe!

Every fall I look forward to the Salted Caramel Mocha.  It is seriously my all time favorite fall drink.  Although lately it has seemed a little too sweet to me.  Curse you eating healthy!  My taste buds have forgotten how good sugar really is because of all the veggies.  LOL! Just kidding…it’s a good thing to take a sip of a drink and realize you can do without some of the sugar.

Of course, I could really do without spending $5 a drink. Good thing I can make this Salted Caramel Mocha Latte at home any time I want…without spending that much money.  I can also adjust the syrups for my lame taste buds.

This past weekend I may have consumed a few extra of these drinks though.  Hey, they were giving away extra “stars” if you ordered certain drinks.  The salted caramel was one of these special drinks…so I had to.  I can’t resist caramel or free stars.

A few ladies from our church attended the Beth Moore conference over the weekend too.  That was my first time actually seeing her, and I absolutely loved her personality and zeal for God.  She definitely was a much needed inspiration to me that day. Woman up!!!

Before heading home, we stopped yet again for coffee.  Hey, road trips call for coffee.  Am I right?  As we drove, I kind of dozed off. No, I wasn’t the driver.  All of a sudden I jerked awake with this cake in my head.  I seriously could not wait to get home and make it.  I apparently do all my best thinking asleep.

This cake is seriously so easy to put together.  Like 15 minutes easy!!!  Beat the cream cheese with some caramel ice cream topping with a little sea salt.

Now I want to talk to you about sea salt for a minute.  Make sure you use a coarse ground sea salt because if your sea salt comes out of your container a little bit finer…it is going to taste extra salty.  This brings me to my second disclaimer with sea salt. Make sure you add the sea salt in small increments.  Some people love salted treats…that would be me.  Others like a mild sea salt flavor.  In order to get what you like, add it slowly and do taste tests often because you do not want to ruin your dessert.  I do not want you to dump in the measurement I give you, and then have you not like it.  Remember sea salt grinders all grind differently!

Give the Oreo cookies a dunk in some cooled coffee and place on the bottom of a pan.  Spread half the no bake cheesecake on top, and repeat the layers.  End with a layer of Cool Whip.  Yes, the white fluffy stuff.  You know how much I love it!  Then let it chill to firm up.  This is where you have to have patience.  Yes, I know, this is seriously not fair.  You could eat it early, but letting it set deepens the flavor.  Plus, it looks better when you cut into it.

Serve this salted caramel Oreo icebox cake with another swirl of that good white stuff and drizzle caramel and chocolate all over it.  If you are a true salted caramel lover, go ahead and sprinkle with a little bit more salt.  That’s totally up to you.

    It’s so weird how when you cut back on sugar, your taste buds adjust. Whenever I rarely try Coke now, it’s super sweet.
    Those salted caramel mochas are delicious! But this looks so much better. It looks like it took hours to create!

        Jocelyn I was wondering… My husband and I are not big coffee lovers…does it have a strong coffee taste? If so do you think just dipping them in milk would still taste ok?

          Hi, Kristina. This dessert does not have a strong coffee taste at all. In fact a lady at our church had some and she doesn’t like coffee flavored things at all, and she said she loved this. But yes, you could totally dip the cookies in milk instead, if you wanted to do that!

    Well this is GENIUS! I had a salted caramel mocha this weekend, too. My husband had a taste and kept raving about how good my fancy drink was. I told him to enjoy his plain iced coffee. lol

    So I’m trying to cut back on sugar and then I see things like that. Give me ALL of the sugar! Great recipe, Jocelyn.

    OH, and I know the feeling of not being able to resist the $5/cup Starbucks urge. When pumpkin spice rolled out last year, I was there 4 times that week. Yikes! I was a little more well behaved this year. 😉

    I made this for my husband & I for Sunday night dessert. It was sooo good! I used the Fat free carmel apple dip in place of the ice cream topping. Also used Lite whipped topping as well as the low fat cream cheese. Hey, gotta cut when I can and it was still delish! It was so quick to put together. This one is a keeper! Thanks for sharing!

    You are too funny… I get my best recipe ideas at the craziest times too – sometimes even in the shower at 6am in the morning, which I don’t even know how that happens because I’m still too tired to remember what comes after conditioner, let alone think of some killer recipe. But it happens. 🙂 This cake looks AWESOME. Sitting her bundled up in blankets, and now all I want is a big piece of this cake! Pinned 🙂

    Hi, firstly this cake looks amazing! I am very eager to make it! I just was wondering, when you place the Oreos on the bottom does it leave gaps inbetween the circles? In the pictures it looks like a even layer with no gaps. Thanks, Shani 🙂

    Reply

    • Jocelyn Brubaker says

      Hi, Shani. Yes, there will be gaps when you place them in the layers because Oreos are circles. The cookies do move a little when you spread the filling out, so some pieces will not have gaps. I hope you enjoy it 🙂

    Joycelyn, I made this for Super Bowl 2015 and it was awesome! However, my cake never firmed up, so I put it in the freezer. Once I took it out, it melted; almost like ice-cream. I tried to make it low-fat, so I used Neufchâtel cheese, sugar free caramel, and reduced fat Oreos, and lite cool whip. Do you think those items made it melt? I want to make it again, but I want it firm……please help. I am a new baker:)

      Hi, Maranda. I only used regular cream cheese, caramel, and Cool Whip and mine held its shape great. I would say that the low-fat items totally affected the outcome. Definitely try it with the regular ingredients. At least it tasted great!!!

    I’m making this cake for a friend’s birthday this weekend, and I’m so excited. I am wondering, though… the picture looks like you made it on a platter instead of in a pan. Is that true? Can I just stack it on the platter as I make it?

    • Jocelyn says

      Hi, Jolyn. I made the cake in a 8×8 pan, then the next day cut it into squares and put it on the plates you see. I hope your friend enjoys this cake 🙂

    Jocelyn, I printed this recipe, but there was a big empty space where the advertisement was which made the recipe need to print on two pieces of paper. How do I prevent this from happening again?

    • Jocelyn says

      Thank you so much for letting me know about this. We are working to find a way to fix it so the blank space does not show when the recipe is printed. I hope you enjoy this cake though 🙂

    Can you use a springform pan instead of an 8×8 and cutting it into squares. It would be nice to see it layerd after you removed it from the springform pan.

    Reply

    • Jocelyn says

      Yes, you could use a stabilized whipped cream in place of the Cool Whip. I would recommend beating 2 cups heavy whipping cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar until stiff and creamy. I hope that helps.
