Oreo Delight Layered Dessert
This chocolate delight is one of my favorite chocolate desserts. It’s made with an Oreo cookie crust, topped with a smooth and creamy chocolate cheesecake, followed by a creamy chocolate pudding, and then a final layer of Cool Whip. I also like to top it with mini marshmallows and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for added indulgence!
The most difficult part of this Oreo dessert is waiting for it to set.
When it comes to chocolatey no-bake desserts, this tops them all. The combination of layers is out of this world.
You’ll be so proud to share it – if there’s enough left to share!
Ingredients/shopping list
Below is a list of the ingredients you’ll need to gather to make this easy dessert. Scroll down to the full recipe card with amounts
For the Oreo Crust:
- Chocolate Sandwich Cookies: Oreo cookies are the most popular brand, but you can use whatever you have. Keep the creamy centers, they help to sweeten and bind the crust.
- Butter: I like using unsalted butter but feel free to use your preference.
For the Chocolate Cream Cheese Layer
- Cream Cheese: Make sure it is softened to room temperature so it creams nicely.
- Butter: Unsalted butter helps make this layer rich and creamy.
- Hot Chocolate Mix: Save time and use a few envelopes of pre-made mix for the chocolatey flavor.
- Powdered Sugar: This sweetens this layer while keeping it extra fluffy and helping to hold the structure of the filling.
- Whipped Topping: Cool whip or a stabilized homemade whipped topping for a final layer.
For the Pudding Layer
- Instant Chocolate Pudding: for a rich, velvety pudding layer.
- Milk: Use your favorite kind of cold milk.
- Mini Marshmallows: this is optional but it makes this layer sweeter.
For the Whipped Topping Layer
Top it off with whipped topping, mini marshmallows, and chocolate syrup.
Variations/ Substitutions
1. Dress up your chocolate Oreo delight for the occasion. A Christmas dessert lasagna inspires me! Add holiday sprinkles to the top depending on the occasion.
2. Swap the marshmallows for white or dark chocolate shavings, more crushed cookies, mini chocolate chips or mini peanut butter cups for a peanut butter version. Or be love bold and add a mixture of many!
3. Make peppermint chocolate delight by adding some peppermint extract to the cheesecake layer and/or whipped topping.
4. Swap the hot cocoa mix for ¾ cup of cocoa powder and increase the powdered sugar to ¾ cup. (You can add more sugar if you’d like it sweeter after tasting.)
How to Make this No-Bake Oreo Dessert
This Oreo Cookie Delight is perfect any time of year. The simple ingredients easy to find at your local grocery store.
Make the Oreo Base
Step 1: In a food processor, add the full cookies and pulse a few times until they become fine crumbs. Add the cookie crumbs and melted butter to a medium bowl. Mix to combine.
Step 2: Transfer the crumb mixture into a parchment-lined 9×13 pan and press down evenly with your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup.
Make the cream cheese filling
Step 3: In a separate large bowl, beat the cream cheese and softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy.
Step 4: Stir in the hot chocolate mix and powdered sugar and combine everything. Then, fold in one container of the thawed whipped topping.
Step 5: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the crust.
Make the chocolate pudding
Step 6: Next, add the pudding mix and milk to a medium bowl and whisk together until smooth. Gently stir in one cup of mini marshmallows (if you’d like). Spread this mixture over the chocolate cream cheese layer.
Add the cool whip layer
Step 7: Top with remaining whipped topping. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
Top with mini marshmallows and a drizzle of chocolate syrup over the top layer before serving.
Tips
- No food processor? No problem. Place the cookies in a Ziploc bag. Remove the air (otherwise it’ll burst), and seal it. Then, roll a rolling pin over them until they are tiny crumbs.
- For clean slices, wipe the knife between each slice. On the other hand, it is also easier to slice when the cake is slightly thawed from frozen.
- If you would rather use whipped cream instead of Cool Whip, make sure to whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks so it holds.
