No-Bake Oreo Loaf Cake

Layers of Oreo cookies dipped in milk and a mascarpone and heavy cream filling, which soften in the fridge into a cake that slices nicely. Broken cookies are scattered on top, and there's no need to turn on the oven.

👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Line 30 cm loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving the edges hanging over the sides.
    Plastic wrapBaking pan
  2. 2
    Whip the cream to stiff peaks.' Add the mascarpone, powdered sugar and vanilla and whip just until the cream is smooth.'
    ⚙ WhippingBowlHand mixerorStand mixerorWhisk
    💡Whip cream very cold, in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, and stop when it holds firm: overwhipping turns it grainy and buttery.
  3. 3
    Break 6 of the biscuits into pieces and set aside for decorating.
  4. 4
    Dip each biscuit briefly into the milk and arrange a tight layer on the bottom of the pan.
    Baking pan
    💡Dip for just a second: the biscuit keeps absorbing moisture from the cream in the fridge, and a biscuit soaked too long falls apart.
  5. 5
    Spread a layer of cream, top with a layer of dipped biscuits and repeat, alternating, until the ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of cream.

  6. 6
    Scatter the broken pieces on top and press lightly.
  7. 7
    Cover and chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
    Refrigerator
    💡The long chill is what turns the layers into a cake: the biscuits absorb moisture from the cream and soften, and the cream sets enough to slice.
  8. 8
    Cut with a knife dipped in hot water, wiping it between slices.
