    • The BEST Oreo Dessert

    Why you’ll love this recipe

    If you love easy recipes, this may just become your new favorite easy dessert! Not only is it quick, but it’s also a no-bake recipe (so no heating up the kitchen in the summer), and uses ingredients that you may even already have on hand!

    Plus, if you’re an Oreo fan, and love Oreo dessert recipes, it doesn’t get any better than this! Well, except maybe these Oreo Rice Krispy Treats and these Cookies and Cream cinnamon rolls but that’s a close call!

    This recipe starts with an Oreo crust and ends with Oreo crumbs, with a middle that’s full of delicious, creamy ingredients like instant pudding, cream cheese and more to help give it the crunch and creaminess that creates the perfect combination for a delicious dessert!

    Is this the same as an Oreo pudding dessert?

    Yes and no. This recipe does use instant pudding mix and America’s favorite cookie but there are many dessert recipes that use Oreo’s and pudding together. Some recipes are simply a layer of pudding and topped with crushed cookies and Cool Whip.
    However this recipe has an Oreo crust, a cream cheese layer, chocolate pudding layer, Cool Whip layer and crushed cookies that makes it the perfect dessert and way more than just pudding and Oreo’s!

    How to Make this No-Bake Oreo Dessert

    For the best result, plan to make this at least 2 hours in advance so the delicious treat will have time to set. (Which means thicken a little, so it’s easier to slice and serve.)

    You can find the full, printable recipe card at the bottom of this post, however I also love to share tips along the way with photos of the process to help you make this a delicious Oreo dessert.

    Supplies Needed:

    • Plastic zip-top (or Ziploc) bag
    • 9×13 baking dish
    • Mixer (whisk attachment on stand mixer, hand mixer or whisk)
    • Spoon for transferring pudding mixture and folding in Cool Whip
    • Plastic wrap to cover baking dish when refrigerating

    Recipe Ingredients:

    • 1 package of Double Stuf Oreos (regular or family size) – regular Oreos will work too
    • 1/2 cup melted butter
    • 2 small packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding
    • 3 1/4 cups milk (whole, 2% or skim will work)
    • 2 containers of Cool Whipped Topping (8 oz. each, a total of 16 ounces)
    • 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
    • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
    Ingredients for No Bake Oreo Dessert Recipe

    Step by Step Directions:

    1. Place 2 rows of double stuffed Oreos in a large Ziploc bag. Seal the top, and using the palm of your hands, crush the cookies into small chunks. (Some people prefer using a rolling pin or food processor to crush them, if you find that easier.)
    2. Once they are small chunks, pour the crushed Oreos out into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. (Image 1 below.)
    3. Place the remaining row of Oreos in the Ziploc bag and crush them to use for the topping.
    4. Pour the melted butter over the Oreo chunks in the baking pan, and mix with a spoon. Pat down and set in the refrigerator to chill and set. (Image 2 below.)

    1. Using the whisk attachment on a stand mixer (or a hand mixer or whisk), pour the milk into a large bowl and add the pudding powder. Mix pudding on low speed until the powder is incorporated. Then turn the mixer on higher speed and mix until the pudding gets thick.

    Expert Tips:

    • Thaw containers of Cool Whip in the refrigerator overnight so it’s easier to work with.
    • Pro Tip: To loosen the cookie crust of the first slice, heat up a dishcloth under running hot water and wring out. Place the dishcloth under the corner where you want to make the first slice. Leave it for about a minute and then cut and remove the slice. The heat will help loosen up the oreo crust and help you enjoy this heavenly Oreo dessert even faster!

      I used regular Oreos because that’s what I had, and I also used fresh whipped cream instead of Cool Whip. It turned out over the top delicious!! It’s a good thing we had family over, because I would not be able to stop myself from eating half a pan! (Oh, and thanks for the tip about the hot dishcloth under the pan – worked like a charm.)
