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 to 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 rogue with a peanut butter icebox version!

Cheesecake is our favorite kind of cake, and Oreos are our favorite cookie, so you can only imagine how wildly delicious this combination is for us.

This easy dessert takes no time, and the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Wondering about the coconut oil? It serves two functions. 1. It thins the chocolate slightly, making it easier to dip the Oreos. 2. It helps the chocolate set much more quickly in the fridge. It's a win/win!

Oreo lovers, be prepared to eat a whole batch of these. These cookie balls are essentially truffles. You simply crush up Oreos (we like using a food processor, but the old zip-top bag and rolling pin definitely works), mix them up with cream cheese, and then dunk those balls into melted chocolate.
