Bailey’s Mint Oreo Icebox Cake (only 4 ingredients!) Recipe
Bailey’s Mint Oreo Icebox Cake
I accidentally made you a St. Patrick’s Day dessert.
I saw approximately 850 bajillion new Oreo flavors at the grocery store and had to buy them. Like, all of them. I came home with two grocery bags full of cookies to a husband who should not be surprised by this sort of thing anymore. I proceeded to make him taste test each flavor with me to offset the number of “samples” I had to consume. You know, kind of like what you do at a wine tasting so you don’t get drunk? Except for instead of spitting your sample out, you spit it at your husband? Wait.
Well, you get what I mean.
The next day I came in with another grocery bag full of Oreos, prompting my husband to exclaim, “You bought MORE Oreos?” And then I went all Patty Loveless on him.
I considered using my loot to create a giant Oreo pit for swimming. Like a sort-of-gross, sort-of-awesome version of Scrooge McDuck‘s money pit. I might still do that.
But I also decided to make icebox cakes, because they’re both insanely easy and insanely delicious. I made this mint one first, and I put Bailey’s Irish Cream it in for obvious reasons (because Bailey’s should go in all things). Then I realized it was almost St. Patrick’s Day and decided to pretend like I planned this recipe for that occasion. But then I told you about that decision, ruining any chance that you’ll actually believe me? At least there’s still cake.
