Ingredients

• Oreos: Best chocolate cookies that we’ll crumble into the layers.
• Cream cheese: Make sure you soften this prior to making the dessert for easy mixing. Gives creaminess and a hint of cheesy flavor to the pudding layer.
• Butter: Adds richness to the pudding layer.
• Vanilla extract: Makes any vanilla pudding mix even better in flavor.
• Powdered sugar: Sweetens the pudding just right and dissolves into the mixture so there’s no gritty texture.
• Cool whip or whipped topping: Thaw this so it’s easy to mix, it’s the base of the no-bake dessert layers.
• Instant vanilla pudding: The mix that helps to create that classic pudding texture and flavor.
• Cold milk: We recommend whole milk here. It’s mixed with the pudding mix to activate the powder and thicken correctly.

How to Make No-Bake Oreo Dessert

1. Crush Oreos to desired consistency and set aside. Prepare the pudding by adding the milk and whipping according to the package instructions.

2. With a hand mixer, combine cream cheese, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth.

3. Add pudding once set and continue to beat until smooth.
4. Now gently fold in Cool Whip until uniform consistency.

5. In a large bowl or aluminum pan, add the Oreo to the bottom.
6. Then layer with the pudding mixture.

7. Continue until both are gone. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours and enjoy!

Expert Tips

• Thaw your cream cheese, butter, and Cool Whip appropriately. You will want them to be either thawed or softened so they are easy to mix together and layer.
• Chill for a few hours before serving. This is the most important step of the whole recipe, it sets the pudding mixture and helps the layers settle so the flavor and texture is perfect.
• Customize to your liking. We use vanilla pudding here, but you could also use chocolate. We love Oreos but feel free to swap for vanilla Oreos, Biscoff cookies, chocolate chip cookies, etc.
• If your pudding hasn’t thickened, chances are you need to whisk it more! Make sure your milk is very cold and use a hand mixer to help speed the process along.

Storage and Make Ahead

Store this Oreo dessert in the fridge for up to 4 days. This won’t freeze well as it will change the texture of the pudding and could make it watery once thawed.

The best part is this dessert should be made in advance so it has enough time to set and chill in the fridge. We like to make it the morning of any event and by the time we’re ready to enjoy the no-bake dessert is ready.
