Oreo Dessert (No-Bake Oreo Icebox Cake) Recipe

Introduction

This No-Bake Oreo Icebox Cake is a delightful layered dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, creamy cream cheese filling, and rich chocolate pudding topped with whipped topping and crushed Oreos. It’s an easy, impressive treat perfect for parties or any sweet craving.

Ingredients

• 36 Oreo cookies
• 6 tbsp butter (melted)
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup whipped topping (folded in)
• 7.8 oz instant chocolate pudding mix (2 boxes, 3.9 oz each)
• 3 cup whole milk (cold)
• 2 cup whipped topping
• 1 crushed Oreos (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies finely and mix them with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to form a compact crust. Place it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
2. Step 2: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until well combined. Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
3. Step 3: Whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with the cold whole milk for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding thickens and becomes glossy. Spread the pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer, reaching the edges.
4. Step 4: Spread the remaining 2 cups of whipped topping over the pudding layer, covering it completely. Sprinkle the crushed Oreos generously over the top for a crunchy garnish.
5. Step 5: Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set and the layers hold their shape. Cut into squares and serve chilled.

Tips & Variations

• For extra flavor, you can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture before folding in the whipped topping.
• If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the powdered sugar to 3/4 cup.
• Try using chocolate or vanilla whipped topping alternatives for a twist on the traditional flavor.
• Allowing the dessert to chill overnight enhances the texture and flavor melding.

Storage

Store the Oreo Icebox Cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, keep it chilled until ready to serve. If needed, let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing to make cutting easier.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Crust

• 36 Oreo cookies
• 6 tbsp butter, melted

Cream Cheese Layer

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup whipped topping, folded in

Chocolate Pudding Layer

• 7.8 oz instant chocolate pudding mix (2 boxes, 3.9 oz each)
• 3 cups whole milk, cold

Topping

Instructions

1. Make the Oreo crust: Mix the finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to form a tight crust layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to allow the crust to firm up.
2. Add the cream cheese layer: Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until well combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust layer.
3. Add the chocolate pudding layer: Whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix together with the cold whole milk for about 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy. Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer, extending it to the edges of the dish.
4. Top and chill: Spread the remaining 2 cups of whipped topping gently and evenly over the pudding layer, covering it completely. Sprinkle crushed Oreos generously over the top for added texture and decoration.
5. Set and serve: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight so it fully sets and the layers hold their shape. Once set, cut into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

• For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing.
• This dessert can be prepared a day ahead, making it perfect for parties or gatherings.
• Use cold milk to help the pudding mix thicken properly.
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• For a lighter version, use reduced-fat cream cheese and whipped topping.
