4 cups heavy whipping cream

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Directions:
01 -
Line a 9-inch springform pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper so the lining extends at least 1 inch above the rim.
02 -
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
03 -
Evenly split the whipped cream into three separate bowls. Add orange gel food coloring to each, blending gently to achieve three distinct shades ranging from light to dark orange.
04 -
Arrange a single layer of Oreo cookies over the bottom of the prepared pan. Fill any gaps with pieces of broken cookies as needed.
05 -
Spread one third of the darkest orange whipped cream over the cookie layer and smooth evenly with a spatula.
06 -
Place a second layer of Oreo cookies atop the whipped cream layer.
07 -
Cover the cookies with the next third of whipped cream, using the medium shade, and spread evenly.
08 -
Top with another layer of cookies, followed by the remaining lightest orange whipped cream, spreading to the edges. Gently cover the cake with plastic wrap.
09 -
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or preferably overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
10 -
Remove the cake from the refrigerator, carefully release from the springform pan, and decorate with orange icing and sprinkles as desired.
