Why You’ll Love This Dessert Bar Recipe
- Easy to make with a boxed brownie mix.
- Loaded with tons of cookies & cream flavor – chopped Oreos, white chocolate chips, and Oreo instant pudding mix.
- Homemade Whipped Cream… need I say more! This stuff is amazing when paired with a little bit of Oreo instant pudding mix.
Ingredients Needed
- Brownie Mix – You need an 18 ounce box of brownie mix. You can use a milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or chocolate fudge.
- Large Eggs
- Milk – Use whole milk or half and half milk for the best results.
- Vegetable Oil – Canola oil is a good substitute for this.
- Oreo Cookies – I use regular Oreos but this recipe would be delicious with chocolate Oreo cookies or even the dark chocolate Oreo cookies. You need chopped Oreos for inside the brownie batter and on top of the brownies.
- Heavy Whipping Cream – No substitutes! We are making homemade whipped cream which can only turn out correctly with heavy whipping cream.
- Powered Sugar – Sweetener for the whipped cream.
- Oreo Cookies & Cream Instant Pudding Mix – You only need 3 tablespoons of this so save the extras and make these brownies another time.
How To Make Easy Cookies and Cream Brownies
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or you can spray it with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the brownie mix, egg, milk, oil, and chopped Oreo cookies. Mix until combined. You can either use a wooden spoon to mix it by hand or an electric hand mixer on medium speed.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the white chocolate chips over top. Spread the batter again to lightly cover the white chocolate chips. They don’t need to be fully covered or submerged in the brownie batter, just lightly covered. See photos below for example.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean and the top is set. Allow the brownies to cool completely at room temperature before frosting them.
- To create the frosting, beat the heavy whipping cream in a large bowl or stand mixer. As the cream thickens up, gradually add the powdered sugar and Oreo instant pudding mix, continue beating for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form. Gently stir in the chopped Oreos.
- Spread the topping over the cooled brownies. Cut into squares and enjoy!
FAQ’s + Expert Tips
- How To Store These Brownies : Since the brownies have a whipped cream topping, they need to be stored in the refrigerator to prevent them from spoiling. The brownies can be stored in a covered container, or cover the pan with plastic wrap, for up to 3-4 days. They can be out at room temperature for up to 1 hour (maybe 2) if you’re serving them at a party or gathering. If you need them out longer then try putting the brownie serving plate or pan on a bed of ice to keep them cool.
- Variations : Instead of white chocolate chips you can use milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, or chopped up Hershey’s Cookies & Cream candy bars.
- Parchment Paper : I recommend lining the pan with parchment paper, and leaving some overhang on the sides, because it makes it so easy to pull the brownies out and cut them nicely. A tip is to spray the pan first with cooking spray and then lay down your parchment paper. The cooking spray helps the paper adhere and stick to the pan.
- Homemade Brownie Mix : If you prefer to use homemade rather than a boxed mix, then make your favorite brownie recipe and use that instead. We love this Homemade Brownies Recipe.
Supplies I Recommend For This Recipe
- 9×9 Baking Pan : I link to this brand all the time and it’s because their pans are truly the best. I love this USA Brand 9×9 Square Baking Pan.
- Measuring Cups & Spoons Set : This set is so strong, sturdy, and has lasted me forever. It’s the OXO Steel Measuring Set.
- Chopper : This Cuisinart Chopper is a great kitchen appliance to have if you need to chop up cookies, nuts, or other candies.
- Mixing Spatula Set : Strong, sturdy spatulas are a great mixing tool for batters and cookie doughs. It also helps to scrape the bowl with it so you get every last drop of brownie batter. I love this OXO Spatula Set because it has three different sizes and I seem to use all of them for lots of various things.
