- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- Approximately 30 Oreos (about 300g or 10.5 oz)
- 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
- About 1 cup (150 g or 5.3 oz) fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup (75 g or 2.6 oz) fresh blueberries
- Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the fridge for about 15 minutes to help the cream whip faster and hold its shape.
- Crush the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin until you have a mix of coarse crumbs and small chunks, or pulse a few times in a food processor.
- Pour the chilled heavy cream into the cold bowl. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Spread a thin layer (about 1/4 inch) of whipped cream evenly across the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan.
- Sprinkle half of the crushed Oreos evenly over the whipped cream base and press down gently.
- Spread another 1/4 inch layer of whipped cream over the Oreo layer, smoothing it out.
- Add the remaining crushed Oreos on top of the cream layer, followed by a final layer of whipped cream, smoothing the top evenly.
- Arrange blueberries in the top left corner to form the star section of the flag. Lay sliced strawberries in horizontal rows next to and below the blueberries to mimic the red stripes, using whipped cream for the white stripes in between.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
- Cut into squares with a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts. Serve chilled.
Notes
Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping cream for better results. Stop whipping cream at soft peaks to avoid graininess. Crush Oreos to a mix of crumbs and chunks for texture. Chill cake at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor and firmness. Use frozen berries thawed and drained if fresh are unavailable. Variations include gluten-free or dairy-free substitutions and adding cream cheese layers or flavor twists like cinnamon.
