A quick and easy no-bake icebox cake featuring creamy layers, rainbow sprinkles, and vanilla wafers, perfect for festive occasions and last-minute celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) rainbow sprinkles (non-melting, e.g., Wilton brand)
  • 2 packs (about 9 oz / 255 g) vanilla wafer cookies (e.g., Nilla wafers)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Mixture (10 minutes): In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula until light, fluffy, and smooth.
  2. Divide and Color the Cream: Divide the cream mixture evenly into five bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl to create red, orange, yellow, green, and blue layers. Mix gently to combine without deflating the cream.
  3. Layering the Cake (5-7 minutes): Spread a thin layer of one colored cream mixture evenly at the bottom of a 9×13 inch glass or clear plastic dish. Lightly sprinkle a handful of vanilla wafers over the cream, then add a generous sprinkle of rainbow sprinkles. Repeat layering with each colored cream and wafers in rainbow order, finishing with a final layer of cream and sprinkles on top.
  4. Chill the Cake: Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow wafers to soften and cream layers to set.
  5. Serving: Use a sharp knife to cut clean slices before serving, revealing vibrant rainbow layers.

Notes

Use chilled heavy cream and cold equipment for best whipping results. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture to keep it fluffy. Use quality non-melting sprinkles to avoid color bleeding. Chill at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture. For dairy-free, substitute coconut whipped cream and dairy-free cream cheese; use gluten-free cookies for gluten-free version.
