The layers of chocolate, marshmallow, and Oreo cookies make this S'mores Oreo Icebox Cake a dessert worth splurging on. This is a delicious cake to bring to summer picnics or barbecues.
It's also no-bake, so it's perfect for those days when it is too hot to even think about baking.
So, I have realized lately that most stores know just how to get consumers to make those extra little purchases. You know the ones, right? The little purchases that you throw into your cart at the very last second.
Magazines are usually the main one that get me every time. I will be standing in the check out line just minding my own business (or scrolling through Instagram), and then I look up and see a new issue with some tantalizing recipe on the front. And before you know it, that magazine and probably 2 others are in my cart.
Target has gotten wise to this little tactic because they also put the newest Oreo cookies at the beginning of the checkout aisles. I'm a sucker for new Oreo flavors, so I always end up buying those too.
The other day I was shopping for some new summer clothes, and I saw that S'mores Oreos are back in the stores. Yay! I love when the Oreo company decides to bring back popular flavors from previous years.
Of course, I'm not surprised they decided to make them again because s'mores anything is super popular in the summer time!
Seeing those made me think of how much I love s'mores. And how I love to turn s'mores into things like Chocolate S'mores Pudding Cake and S'mores Cookie Cups.
Oreo cookies also make me think about icebox cakes. They are one of my favorite things to make with the different flavors of Oreo cookies. This Cherry Oreo Icebox Cake was my most recent creation with the new dark chocolate Oreos.
I actually made this particular Oreo icebox cake a few years ago using the golden Oreos with chocolate cream filling. Those particular Oreos are not available anymore, but the s'mores Oreos look and work just the same.
Ice box cakes are seriously one of the easiest cakes to put together. All you need is some type of cookie and a creamy filling to make the layers of this delicious no bake dessert.
There are so many cookie and filling possibilities for making an icebox cake. These fun desserts also go by the name of dessert lasagna, lush dessert, or dream dessert.
What you need for this Oreo S'mores Icebox Cake:
- S'mores Oreos - you will need 2 packages in order to have enough for the layers
- Cream Cheese
- Marshmallow Cream
- Cool Whip
- Milk
- Hershey's Chocolate Candy Bars
- Marshmallow Bits
The layers of Oreos and marshmallow cheesecake topped with chocolate chunks and mini marshmallows take this cake over the top! This dessert rocked my socks off! I love it when a dessert comes together and is even better than what I imagined.
Tips for making a S'mores Oreo Icebox Cake:
Make sure your cream cheese is softened before you beat it. This just makes it easier to mix it with the marshmallow cream. Also, make sure you are using a spatula to push the mixture down from the sides of the bowl as it mixes.
Fold in the container of Cool Whip gently with a spatula. If you prefer homemade whipped cream, this will work too. Beat 1 ยฝ cups of heavy whipping cream and 6 Tablespoons powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Use this in place of the Cool Whip.
Spread 2 Tablespoons of the filling in the bottom of an 8 inch pan. This will keep the cookies from sticking to the bottom later.
Dip the cookies in milk one at a time and place them in the pan. Spread half of the cheesecake filling on top of the cookies. Repeat the layers and refrigerate the cake.
Pro Tip: Make sure to refrigerate the Oreo icebox cake for at least 4 hours. This gives the cookies time to soften up and become like a cake layer.
Add chopped candy bars and mini marshmallows to the top right before serving.

Jessica @ A Kitchen Addiction
It's been too long since I've made an icebox cake! That needs to change!
Jocelyn
I see icebox cake in your very near future!!! Don't resist the urge ๐
Hayley @ The Domestic Rebel
You're the queen of icebox cakes! This one is no exception - it's certainly heaven on earth! I love that it has a marshmallow cheesecake... so easy and so perfect. And right now, the weather is wacky at home, too. We had one of the worst thunderstorms in years a couple days ago, and then it was back to being in the high 70s. I don't even know what to expect next!
Jocelyn
I don't know about queen...unless it comes with a crown, then I will totally claim it ๐ And that marshmallow cheesecake was seriously the bomb.com!
Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg
Jocelyn - It's been such weird weather in New England, too. One day last week, it was 90 degrees and we had to put on the Air Conditioning. This morning when I drove into work, it was 40 degrees. Hopefully, we'll find a happy medium, and if not, we'll just eat s'more of these (see what I did there?). I can't resist a bad pun! I need more ice box cake in my life.
Jocelyn
Yup, crazy town weather seems to be happening all over the place! I hope the warm spell we have now stays!!! LOL bring on s'more summer desserts, right? Love it!
Mir
I am seriously stalking the stores for those S'more Oreos. Or S'moreos, as I like to call them...
And it's freezing here. We went from 90 to 50. What is going on?!
This looks delicious, Jocelyn. If you can't get the s'moreos, bring them to you!
Jocelyn
I hope you were able to find them. We have already had 2 packages here!
Jessica @ Sweetest Menu
Oh my word! That looks like heaven on a plate. Seriously, all my favourite things in one magical layered dessert - yum!
Jocelyn
Girl, it was beyond amazing!!! I seriously couldn't stop sneaking slivers!!!
Karen @ The Food Charlatan
I love that you sit there dreaming of sweat pants when you are cold. Haha!! Also, I just saw the Oreo Smores on Instagram the other day and my only question is why are they not marketing them as S'moreos??? It's so obvious/awesome it's painful!! I love this icebox cake, btw ๐
Jocelyn
Yeah, I think about them...instead of just getting off my butt and putting them on! I'm such a dork! LOL! S'moreos totally makes sense!!!
Julianne @ Beyond Frosting
This is such a fun idea! I am so glad I don't have to wait for the S'mores Oreos to come out in order to enjoy this!
Jocelyn
LOL! Yeah, who needs those new flavors. Ok, so fine, I do! I already found and bought 2 packages ๐

I'm hoping the cold spell we had is gone. The last week has actually been nice and warm! Bring on summer and s'mores!!!!
Niki
This looks like an amazing cake to have while awaiting the arrival of the S'mores Oreos in stores. Hoping to see them soon!
Danae @ Recipe Runner
We are having the same ridiculous weather here. It feels more like winter is coming instead of summer! Cold weather though wouldn't stop me from making this icebox cake! S'mores everything is a must in the summer!
Jocelyn
And just like that we are back to the warm weather...I'm not sure what's going on with our temps, but hopefully the heat stays. For now anyway ๐ And yes!!!!! S'mores everything for the summer treats!
Annie @ Annie's Noms
Those layers!! Love this, it looks absolutely delicious! We've been having crazy weather in the UK too - boiling hot, then cold, rain, wind, hail stones and thunder; it's now boiling hot again - the only thing we were missing was snow!! I hope it calms down soon and warms up although I can have this icebox cake in the warmth of my lounge and dream of Summer!
Jocelyn
Oh, that is crazy weather! At least there wasn't snow, right?
Medha @ Whisk & Shout
Lovely photos and this looks so cooling and delicious ๐
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
See, I love when Mother Nature throws us fall weather. It's a break from the HEAT! ๐ Love this cake just like all your others!
Jocelyn
Haha! I don't normally mind fall weather...but since summer is just starting I'm ready for the warm heat!!!
allie @ Through Her Looking Glass
Love this dessert Jocelyn. Perfect to enjoy huddled by the fire pit as we wait for summer to reappear!
Ashley | The Recipe Rebel
Thanks for the link friend! And the not even funny thing is that our May long weekend was this last weekend (in Canada) and we DID get snow! I think it's officially all melted though and things are looking up ๐ I am definitely adding this to my list of no-bake desserts for the summer!
Jocelyn
Oh, my! I would not want to see snow now! Good thing it is melting off for you already! Bring on the summer loving desserts, right? ๐
Beth
I thought about turning the heat on, but I did pull my slippers down and put those on! I'm also waiting for those s'more oreos!! Yum!
Jocelyn
And just like that, I'm back to running the air. Our weather has just been crazy around here! I hope you found the new Oreos...they are crazy good!
Erin @ The Spiffy Cookie
Dang I JUST found the s'moreos last night and had only just begun brainstorming and here you are with this beauty! I love icebox cakes.
Jocelyn
LOL! As soon as I saw that they had one coming out, I was starting to think of things! My brain is just sugar crazy I guess ๐
Gayle @ Pumpkin 'N Spice
Smores and oreos in a no-bake dessert sounds like the best combination, Jocelyn! This looks so mouthwatering! Pinned!
Jocelyn
Thank you so much ๐
