Cherry Icebox Birthday Cake

[layers_of_eli]

SO EASY, SO GOOD! I fashioned this cheery Cherry Icebox Birthday "Cake" in two 2-cup apothecary jars for a cute presentation, but if you don't have a 2-cup vessel, you can always make it in one loaf pan lined with parchment paper and, after chilling overnight, turn it out on a platter. Grab yourself a bag of the new birthday cake Oreos and enjoy!





Cherry Icebox Birthday Cake
Recipe by: Willow Bird Baking
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients:
2 cups heavy whipping cream, chilled
7 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons Kirsch (cherry flavored liqueur)*
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 package birthday cake Oreos
maraschino cherries
sprinkles (optional)
*If you don't have any Kirsch or don't want to use it, try subbing in 1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice. I haven't tried it, but I bet it'd be good.

Directions:
Whip the cream, powdered sugar, Kirsch, and vanilla extract together in a chilled bowl to stiff peaks. In two, 2-cup glasses or in one loaf pan lined with parchment paper, layer birthday cake Oreos and cherry whipped cream, starting with Oreos and ending with cream. If you want to get fancy, you could include a maraschino cherry layer! Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, top with sprinkles and maraschino cherries!
