Description
A delightful and visually appealing Funfetti Icebox Cake that combines the sweetness of vanilla pudding with rainbow sprinkles, layered with crisp shortbread cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
- 2 cups milk
- 6.8 oz instant vanilla pudding mix (two 3.4 oz boxes)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 11 oz rainbow sprinkles
- 10 oz shortbread cookies (approximately one box)
- Whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add instant vanilla pudding mix and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Mix with the hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Gradually pour in the milk while mixing. Blend until mostly smooth with minimal lumps.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture using a rubber spatula.
- Carefully fold in about 9 to 10 ounces of rainbow sprinkles, reserving some for garnish. Avoid over mixing to prevent color bleeding.
- Line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Spread 1/2 cup of pudding mixture evenly on the bottom.
- Arrange a single layer of shortbread cookies, breaking them as needed to fit snugly. Pour one third of the remaining pudding over the cookies and spread evenly.
- Repeat layering with cookies, then pudding mixture, then a final layer of cookies topped with the remaining pudding mixture. Sprinkle reserved rainbow sprinkles on top.
- Freeze for 4 hours or refrigerate overnight. If frozen, let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Remove the springform pan sides. Optionally garnish the edges with whipped cream and additional sprinkles before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for better mixing.
- Feel free to use homemade whipped topping instead of Cool Whip.
- If using a different type of cookie, adjust the layering process as needed.
