Oreo Delight

Oreo Delight is a rich, chocolatey dessert with layers of pudding, whipped cream, and, of course, Oreos. There’s a new way to eat America’s favorite cookie. Instead of dunking, try this no-bake Oreo Delight. Oreo Delight with chocolate pudding takes minutes to prepare. Since it needs to chill for several hours, it can be made the day before. This recipe would be a great alternative to a cake for those who are looking for something different. An Oreo cookie lover would be thrilled to have this for their birthday!

Crushed Oreo cookies make up a crust for this dessert. With an Oreo crust, this dessert could be compared to a pie, but it is made in a 9×13 pan. However, if you want to skip a step and purchase a pre-made Oreo crust, this recipe will fill two pies. You could also serve this recipe in individual cups like a parfait.

Oreo Delight Ingredients

  • Oreo cookies
  • Unsalted butter
  • Cream cheese
  • Confectioners’ sugar
  • Cool Whip
  • Instant chocolate pudding
  • 2% milk

No-bake Oreo Delight with chocolate pudding also boasts cream cheese and Cool Whip. You could make your own whipped cream, however, Cool Whip is more stable and won’t lose its airiness so long as you fold it in carefully. Make sure the Cool Whip is thawed before folding in.

When sliced, Oreo Delight will show layers of chocolate cookie crust, creamy white cool whip, and cream cheese, and chocolate pudding, topped with crushed cookies. To ensure clean layers, refrigerate in between and dollop when spreading. Also, make note that you aren’t following the directions on the package of pudding, but rather adding milk per the instructions in this recipe. This will create a thicker pudding layer which is better for the purposes of this dessert.

How to Make Oreo Delight

FIRST STEP: Use a food processor to crush Oreos until they are fine crumbs. Remove ¾ cup crushed Oreos and set these aside for toppings.

SECOND STEP: Mix the remaining crushed Oreos with melted butter and stir to mix.

THIRD STEP: Press the Oreo and butter mixture into the bottom of a 9” x 13” baking dish. Pop this into the freezer for a few minutes while you prepare your next layer. FOURTH STEP: Beat together cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. FIFTH STEP: Fold in 1 package of Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture.

SIXTH STEP: Carefully layer the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo Crust. Drop the cream cheese mixture evenly over top of the crust so that it’s easier to spread out evenly. You don’t want to spread this out too much or you’ll start to pull up the Oreo base.

SEVENTH STEP: In a separate bowl, beat together milk and dry pudding mixtures. Beat about 2 minutes. EIGHTH STEP: Spread pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer. NINTH STEP: Spread the other package of Cool Whip over the top then sprinkled with remaining Oreo crumbs. TENTH STEP: Chill at least 6 hours before cutting.

Cooking Tips

The crust should be frozen to help it stay together so the filling can be spread.

Use completely softened cream cheese so that there are no lumps when beating together with the sugar. Carefully fold the Cool Whip layer so the air is not beaten out.
