No-bake cookie cake: the recipe for a simple and tasty cake

## How to Make It

### Step 1: Make the Cream Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the whipped cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the cookies.

### Step 2: Dip and Layer

Dip each cookie quickly into milk or coffee (just a second or two to soften, not soak), and layer them in a square or rectangular dish.

Spread a layer of the cream mixture over the cookies. Repeat the process — alternating cookies and cream — until you run out of ingredients. End with a cream layer on top.

### Step 3: Chill to Set

Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least **4 hours**, or overnight for best results. The cookies will absorb the cream and soften into a cake-like texture.

### Step 4: Add Final Touches

Before serving, top with chocolate chips, cocoa powder, caramel drizzle, or fresh berries for a beautiful finish.

## Flavor Variations to Try

* **Cookies & Cream**: Use chocolate sandwich cookies and fold crushed cookies into the cream.
* **Tiramisu-Inspired**: Dip cookies in espresso and sprinkle cocoa powder between layers.
* **Peanut Butter Crunch**: Add a peanut butter swirl in the cream or between layers.
* **Strawberries & Cream**: Add sliced strawberries between layers for a fruity twist.

## Tips for Success

* Use full-fat cream cheese or mascarpone for a richer filling.
* Don’t oversoak the cookies — just a quick dip!
* For neat slices, chill the cake well and use a sharp knife.
* Double the batch for larger gatherings — it disappears fast!
