A rich and indulgent no-bake dessert layering Oreos with a creamy mixture of whipped cream and cream cheese, chilled overnight for a soft, cake-like texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 classic Oreos (regular or double-stuffed)
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (optional, for softening Oreos)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, folding just until combined to keep it light and fluffy.
  4. Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture on the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
  5. Arrange a single layer of Oreos over the cream. For softer cookies, quickly dip each Oreo in milk before layering.
  6. Repeat layering cream mixture and Oreos until all are used, finishing with a thick layer of cream on top.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow cookies to soften and flavors to meld.
  8. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream and cream cheese for best whipping results. Fold whipped cream gently into cream cheese mixture to keep it airy. Chill at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture. For softer Oreos, dip quickly in milk before layering but do not soak.
