This Peanut Buster Oreo Icebox cake is a perfect treat on a hot day, partly because it’s served chilled but mostly because there is absolutely no “cooking” involved. It’s stove-top free, oven free, and keeping-your-kitchen-cool proof.
Tools
For this masterpiece, you absolutely must have a 4 inch spring form pan, or at least if you want it to stand on its own. If not you can drop the pieces into a cereal bowl haphazardly and eat it from there… but really, I recommend a mini spring form pan.
A hand mixer or free-standing mixer are great tools to making whipping the cream that much easier, though I suppose if you have unending forearm stamina a hand whisk would also do.
Also, I love using my nutribullet for crushing the Oreos and peanuts, for easy setup and cleanup, but you can use a food processor or blender.
Ingredients
Heavy cream is used to make this mousse. Don’t worry, adding melted dark chocolate to the mixture transform it from whipped cream to a decadent mousse. For those who are dairy free, coconut cream can be used as a substitute.
Dark chocolate chips transform whipped cream into a dense whipped chocolate mousse.

Ingredients
Instructions
- In a nutribullet, food processor, or blender crush Oreos until finely crumbled.
- Stir in coffee/water until just moistened and press half of the mixture into the bottom of a greased spring form pan.
- Using a hand mixer or free-standing mixer, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Remove half from the bowl and mix in vanilla and powdered sugar until just combined. Set both the sweetened and unsweetened whipping creams in the fridge for now.
- In a microwave, melt down chocolate with a little cooking spray until smooth, about 45 seconds. Fold the melted chocolate into the unsweetened whipped cream. Set in fridge while you crush the peanuts.
- In a nutribullet, food processor, or blender crush salted peanuts.
- On top of the oreo bottom, layer white whipped cream, chocolate whipped cream, and half of the crushed peanuts. Then layer the remaining of the oreo mixture, followed by the remaining whipped creams and crushed peanuts. Store in freezer, remove from freezer ~5 minutes before serving.
