Few desserts are as easy as an icebox cake. (Okay, we see you 3-ingredient sugar cookies.) If you can whip cream, you're basically halfway there! For a chocolate version, add 1 to 2 tablespoons cocoa powder into your whipped cream mixture. Or, for a zesty variation, swap out chocolate cookies for vanilla cookies and add 2 tsp citrus zest to your whipped cream, or go for a peanut butter icebox version! Oreo Thins make a great cookie base because they can soften perfectly all the way through, but, honestly, a a regular Oreo will work just as well if you have those on hand.
