Heavenly No Bake Oreo Dessert 

This Heavenly No Bake Oreo Dessert is rich, creamy, and irresistibly layered with crushed Oreos, fluffy whipped topping, and smooth pudding. Quick to assemble and perfect for any occasion, it’s the ultimate crowd-pleasing treat!

The History of Oreos

Oreos were first introduced by the National Biscuit Company—now known as Nabisco—on March 6, 1912, in New York City. These sweet treats were originally called "Oreo Biscuits.” (I pause to think about the fact that folks in England call cookies “biscuits” to this day.

The Oreo cookie featured a simplistic but effective design: two chocolate wafers with a creamy vanilla filling in the middle. It quickly rose in popularity (and it’s easy to see why)!

More than 100 years have passed, but Oreos are just as popular, if not more so. Did you know that they’re one of the top cookies in the world? It’s true! And they’re not just good for eating straight from the package. They also make a lovely addition to desserts like this one! 

A Simple, No-Bake Dessert

That’s exactly what I was looking for, friends! I wanted something I could whip up in a hurry. I happen to have an amazing recipe for Oreo trifle (the mint version is over the top) but it has a layer of chocolate cake (or brownies). 

I happened to be taking dinner to a family member who just had surgery and wanted something easy. So, I stumbled across a picture of this easy dessert on Pinterest and decided to whip it up. Like I said, my Mint Oreo Trifle is one of my favorites, so I figured this dessert would be equally as good.

Oreo Dessert Ingredients

You will find a full printable recipe card at the bottom of this post but here's a quick look at what you'll need to make this luscious dessert. These are simple ingredients you can find at any grocery store.

Chocolate Crust

• 24 finely crushed Oreos
• 6 tablespoons melted butter
• 2 tablespoons melted butter to coat pan

Chocolate Pudding

• Instant chocolate pudding mix (111 grams)
• 2 cups whole milk, cold

Whipped Cream

• 2 cups cold whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • (Alternatively, you can use an 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip)

Creamy Filling

• 8 ounces (one block) room temperature cream cheese 
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 10 crushed Oreos

Crumb Topping

• 8 Crushed Oreos 

That’s it! Nothing to bake, but plenty to love! 

How to Make this No-Bake Oreo Dessert

Crush 24 Oreos in a food processor. (Or, put them in a gallon size baggie and use a rolling pin to take out some of your aggression.) 

Melt butter in a small bowl. 

Pour two ounces of the butter into the bottom of a 9x13-inch casserole dish. 

Add the crushed Oreos to the bowl with the remaining melted butter. Mix well until combined. 

Press crust into the bottom of the buttered dish. 

Cover and place in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up. 

While the crust is chilling, make the pudding by combining the boxed mix and cold milk. Stir well. Cover and place in the refrigerator to chill. 

Next, make your whipped cream. Place the heavy cream into a mixer with whisk attachment and beat it until stiff peaks form. Add sugar and vanilla, mixing only until incorporated. Set aside. 

Make the creamy filling: In a separate bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add ½ cup sugar and set aside. 

Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. 

Add crushed Oreos. 

It’s time to bring it all together! 

Remove the dish from the freezer. 

Spread half of the delicious filling over the crust and spread evenly. 

Add all of the chocolate pudding. 

Add the rest of the filling. 

Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos on top. 

Serve and enjoy!

Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for 3-4 days.

What to Expect from this Dessert

It’s creamy, it’s sweet, it’s loaded with chocolate flavor. This is truly the ultimate dessert. Loved by kids and adults, alike, it’s guaranteed to make your family (or guests) happy. I took this to my daughter’s house and my grandkids flipped! Just looking at it made them happy. And, why not? It’s truly a feast for the eyes. . .and the stomach. 

Variations to this Recipe

As I mentioned above, there are a ton of recipes for this dish online and it’s very similar to my trifle. But there are some other ways to make this dish. 

• In a hurry? Just use a container of Cool Whip. 
• Want different layers? Don’t merge the whipping cream and cream cheese filling. Instead, start with the cream cheese mixture atop the crust (with crushed Oreos), then add pudding, then top with whipped cream and more crushed Oreos.
• Use Mint Chocolate Oreos and York Peppermint Pudding: If you love mint chocolate, you’ll flip over this version! 
• Golden Vanilla Oreos: Ready for something simple? Use Golden Oreos, Vanilla pudding, and leave the other ingredients the same. 
• Add some coconut to the Golden Vanilla version. (This would be delicious!) 
• Make it an Almond Joy! Add coconut to the chocolate version and throw in some slivered almonds. (Delicious!)

No matter how you make it, your guests will be glad you did. This is such a crowd-pleaser!
