Layers of Famous Amos cookies, fluffy green whipped cream, and Nestlé Toll House Football Morsels make this a no-bake dessert win.

If dessert had an MVP, the Touchdown Icebox Cake would take the trophy. It’s creamy, crunchy, and filled with bite-size Famous Amos cookies that soften just enough to feel like a mix between cake and cookies-and-cream pudding. The green whipped topping gives it a fun football field look, and the Nestlé Toll House Football Morsels add the perfect themed touch. Chill it before kickoff and it’s ready to serve while everyone’s glued to the screen.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Simple, no-bake dessert- perfect for busy game days.
• Made with easy store-bought favorites like Famous Amos cookies and Cool Whip.
• Fun football theme that fits every game-day spread.
• Creamy, layered texture that’s part pudding, part cake.
• Make-ahead friendly, just chill and serve when the game starts.

Ingredient Notes

• Cookies: Famous Amos mini cookies hold their crunch just enough after soaking, creating the perfect cookie-cake texture.
• Whipped topping: Cool Whip works best, but homemade whipped cream will also do, just stabilize it so it sets well.
• Chocolate morsels: Nestlé Toll House Football Morsels bring the fun, but you can sub in mini chocolate chips if it’s off-season.
• Milk: Regular milk works fine; dip cookies briefly so they soften but don’t crumble.
• Hot fudge: Totally optional, but it adds a nice rich swirl and makes the layers look extra pretty.

Before You Bake

Do I have to tint the Cool Whip?  Nope! The green tint just gives it that “football field” look. You can keep it white for a cookies-and-cream vibe.

Can I make this ahead? Yes, it’s actually better after sitting in the fridge a few hours or overnight.

Can I use another cookie? Yes! Chips Ahoy or mini Oreos would also work, but Famous Amos gives it the perfect buttery crunch.
