    Anytime Oreo cookies are involved you know it's going to be a crowd please! This amazingly delicious and fluffy Layered Oreo Dessert is always a hit at gatherings or family dessert. 

    It's a simple, no bake recipe with 4 layers!

    Ingredients Needed

    The ingredient list may look long but lots of the ingredients needed for each layer are the same. Read below to see all my tips for each ingredient. 

    • Family Size Oreo Cookies - You will need the larger pack of Oreo cookies to have enough for the crust and the whipped cream topping. 
    • Butter - I use salted butter to help balance the sweetness from the cookies, but unsalted can be used as well. 
    • Cream Cheese - I prefer to use the full-fat real cream cheese vs. reduced-fat cream cheese. I think it has much better flavor and a thicker, creamier texture to it. 
    • Powdered Sugar
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Cool Whip - You will need two (8 ounce) tubs of Cool Whip for this recipe. If your store has a 16 ounce tub then use that and just eyeball half of it for each of the two layers that call for it. 
    • Heavy Whipping Cream - You'll need a total of 4 cups of heavy cream. 
    • Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix - Do not prepare according to package directions. Follow the recipe that's down below.

    How to Make a Layered Oreo Dessert

    It's pretty easy to make this dessert because it's no bake. There are several steps to it for each of the layers, but no refrigeration time is needed between each layer so it can all be made at once. Be sure and continue reading down below to the recipe card for the full ingredients and detailed instructions and tips. 

    • Oreo Crust
      • Add the Oreo cookies into a food processor or food chopper (or you can put them in a Ziploc bag and pound them with something heavy) and pulse/chop them until they are finely ground crumbs. If you prefer a chunkier Oreo crust, then don't ground them so finely. 
      • Melt a stick of butter and pour the Oreo crumbs into it. Stir to combine. Press the crust into an un-greased 9x13 dish. Use a measuring cup to firmly press the crust together. 
    • Sweetened Whipped Cheesecake Layer
      • In a mixing bowl combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until combined and creamy. Add in the thawed Cool Whip and mix on low speed just until combined well. 
      • Evenly spread this over the Oreo cookie crust in the pan. 
    • Chocolate Mousse Layer
      • In a mixing bowl add 2 cups heavy whipping cream + chocolate instant pudding mix. Beat together for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is thick and combined well. 
      • Add in a tub of thawed Cool Whip and beat on low speed until combined. 
      • Spread this layer evenly over the cheesecake layer. 
    • Oreo Whipped Cream
      • Crush or chop 6 Oreo cookies. 
      • Add the chopped Oreo cookies, 2 cups heavy whipping cream, and powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed, increasing speed as needed, for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. 
      • Evenly spread this over the chocolate mousse layer. 
      • If wanted, use the remaining 6 Oreo cookies in the package and roughly chop them and sprinkle them on top of the whipped cream layer. 
      • Cover the pan with plastic wrap or tin foil and let it refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or overnight works, before cutting and serving.

    Tips For Success

    Here are a few helpful tips that will help make this recipe a success in your own kitchen!

    • Plan Ahead : Don't try to rush this recipe. As I was testing this recipe several times, I decided to leet it only refrigerate for about 4 hours. Let me tell you, it was a soft layered dessert that kind of all smooshed together when you cut pieces. I highly recommend letting it refrigerate for 8 hours before serving. It's perfect to make it in the morning and let it hang out in the fridge all day until that evening. You can even make it the night before and refrigerate it overnight if wanted. 
    • Cool Whip : If you don't want to use the Cool Whip then feel free to make your own Homemade Cool Whip instead. I prefer easy desserts so I stick with the Cool Whip. Plus, there is a homemade Oreo whipped cream in this dessert recipe so you'll still get that delicious homemade whipped cream. 
    • Family Size Oreo Cookies : Be sure you are buying the family size package. You will use exactly the number of cookies that are in that package in the recipe!
    • Oreos : I do not recommend using double-stuf Oreo cookies. There is more of the white cream which will change the texture of the crust.

    Variation & Substitution Ideas

    There are some ways to change up this recipe using different Oreo cookie flavors + different pudding mixes. Here are a few ideas!

    • Golden Oreo Layered Dessert : Golden Oreo Cookies + Sweetened Whipped Cheesecake (same as recipe below) + Vanilla Mousse Layer (use vanilla pudding) + Golden Oreo Whipped Cream
    • Birthday Confetti Layered Dessert : Birthday Cake Oreo Cookies + Sweetened Whipped Confetti Cheesecake (same as recipe below but add sprinkles) + Vanilla Mousse Layer (use vanilla pudding) + Birthday Oreo Whipped Cream (add sprinkles on top)
    • Triple Chocolate Oreo Layered Dessert : Chocolate Oreo Cookies + Sweetened Whipped Cheesecake (add ¼ cup cocoa powder to it) + Chocolate Mousse Layer (same as recipe below) + Chocolate Oreo Whipped Cream
    • Mint Chocolate Layered Oreo Dessert : Mint Oreo Cookies + Sweetened Whipped Cheesecake (add ½ teaspoon or more mint extract) + Chocolate Mousse Layer (same as recipe below) + Mint Oreo Whipped Cream

    Can I Make This Ahead of Time?

    Yes! This recipe needs at least 8 hours of refrigeration time before serving. This helps the layers firm up and the flavors develop. Make it the morning of and let it hang out in the fridge until evening, or you can even make it the night before and let it refrigerate overnight. 

    How to Store Leftovers?

    Leftovers of Oreo Dessert keep well, covered, in the fridge for up to 5 days. The crust does get softer and softer the longer it's in there, but that does not seem to bother anyone that eats leftovers on day 5. It's still yummy. 

    I just leave the dessert inside the 9x13 baking dish that I made it in and cover with plastic wrap or a lid. 

    Can I Freeze Oreo Dessert?

    I do not recommend freezing this dessert. It has lots of dairy in it like cream cheese, heavy cream, Cool Whip, etc. that will not thaw well once frozen. I don't freeze anything with dairy in it so I say no to freezing this. But, with that said, lots of people do successfully freeze dairy dessert like this one and don't mind it at allIf you are freezing it, it will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 1 month. Let thaw in the fridge overnight or for at least 8 hours before serving.

    Instructions
     

    Oreo Crust

    • In a food processor or food chopper, finely chop the Oreo cookies.
    • Transfer the crushed Oreos to a bowl and add the melted butter. Mix to combine together.
    • Press the Oreo crust into an un-greased 9x13 baking dish, and use the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly press the crust in place. Place the pan in the fridge while you prepare the next layer.

    Sweetened Whipped Cheesecake

    •  In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
    • Using a hand mixer, beat on high for 1-2 minutes, or until it’s combined well. Add in the container of Cool Whip and mix on low speed until incorporated.
    • Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over top the Oreo crust, and return the pan to the fridge.

    Chocolate Mousse

    • In the same mixing bowl, add the chocolate instant pudding powder and heavy whipping cream. Beat for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is thick.
    • Add in the thawed Cool Whip and beat on low speed until combined.
    • Evenly spread this layer over the cheesecake layer. Return the pan to the fridge.

    Oreo Whipped Cream

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and chopped Oreo cookies.
    • Beat with a hand mixer for 4-5 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Start at LOW speed to avoid splashing and then gradually increase speed as it gets thicker.
    • Spread this over the chocolate mousse layer.
    • Sprinkle the remaining 6 Oreo cookies (chopped) from the package over the whipped cream.
    • Cover the pan with a lid, plastic wrap, or tin foil and let refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving.
      * This can be made the day before and refrigerated overnight

    Notes

    Tip : To avoid lots of dishes, I use the same bowl for the whipped cheesecake layer and the chocolate mousse layer. I do use a separate clean bowl for the whipped cream layer so it does not get the brown pudding mousse color in it. 
    Serving Size : This is a rich dessert thanks to those 4 layers! I can easily have 24 pieces from this dessert. Each serving is small, not too small, but plenty.
    Fridge Time : No need to let the baking dish stay in the fridge for a long time between layers. Simply stick it back into the fridge after each layer for just the amount of time it takes to make the next layer. 
    Tip : This dessert needs at least 8 hours in the fridge before cutting and serving. It gives it time for the layers to firm up (so it cuts nicely) and the flavors develop and get better and better.
