Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve a few for topping)

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1 (12 oz) tub whipped topping (Cool Whip), divided

• 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix

• 3 cups cold milk

Directions

1. Make the crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos (reserving about 1/2 cup for topping) and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form an even layer. Place in the fridge to set while preparing the other layers.

2. Make the cream cheese layer: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping (about 6 oz) until light and fluffy. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.

3. Prepare the pudding: In another bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mixes and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes). Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.

4. Top with whipped topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Smooth it out with a spatula.

5. Chill: Refrigerate the Oreo Delight for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results, to allow the layers to set.

6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos over the top for decoration. Slice and serve chilled.

Servings and timing

This recipe serves about 12-15 people. Prep time is approximately 20 minutes, with a minimum of 4 hours of chilling time, making it a perfect make-ahead dessert.

Variations

• Peanut Butter Oreo Delight: Add a layer of peanut butter or swirl it into the cream cheese mixture for a peanut butter-chocolate twist.

• Mint version: Use mint Oreos and mint pudding for a refreshing variation.

• Double chocolate: Use chocolate cream cheese and chocolate whipped topping for an extra-rich dessert.

• Individual servings: Make the dessert in small jars or cups for a cute, portable treat.

Storage/reheating

Store Oreo Delight in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days. This dessert is best enjoyed cold. Freezing is not recommended, as the texture of the pudding and whipped topping may change after thawing.

FAQs

1. Can I make Oreo Delight in advance?

Yes! In fact, this dessert is even better when made ahead of time and chilled overnight to let the layers set and flavors meld.

2. Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Absolutely. You can substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream (about 3 cups), but keep in mind that homemade whipped cream may not hold up as long as store-bought.

3. Can I use a different type of pudding?

Yes, you can use vanilla, white chocolate, or even cheesecake flavored pudding for a different twist on the classic Oreo Delight.

4. Do I need to bake the crust?

No, this is a no-bake dessert. The butter in the crust helps it firm up once chilled.

5. Can I make this dessert gluten-free?

Yes, just substitute the Oreo cookies with a gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookie of your choice.

6. How can I make the layers more defined?

Chill each layer for 15-30 minutes before adding the next to help them stay separate and defined.

7. Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese?

Yes, reduced-fat or Neufchâtel cheese can be used, though the flavor and texture may be slightly different.

8. What’s the best way to crush the Oreos?

You can crush them in a food processor for fine crumbs, or place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin for a chunkier texture.

9. Can I add fruit to Oreo Delight?

Yes, sliced strawberries or bananas can be layered with the pudding for a fruity twist.

10. Can I freeze Oreo Delight?

It’s not recommended to freeze this dessert as the texture may become watery or grainy once thawed. It’s best stored in the fridge and consumed within a few days.

Conclusion

Oreo Delight is the ultimate no-bake dessert that brings together all the best flavors—chocolate, cream, and cookies—in one easy-to-make treat. With its luscious layers and crunchy crust, it’s a guaranteed hit at any event or gathering. Make it once, and it’s sure to become a go-to favorite for any sweet occasion!
