Stuff You'll Need
- Oreos: 30 cookies, smashed up
- Hand Mixer: Makes blending a breeze
- Big Bowl: Mix everything here
- Cool Whip: One thawed tub (8 oz)
- Milk: 1 and a half cups, cold
- Vanilla Pudding: 3.4 oz box
How You Put It Together
- Chill & crush:
- Let your Cool Whip warm up on the counter for half an hour. Smash the Oreos in a bag with a rolling pin; don't crush them all the way to dust—crunchy bits are best.
- Blend pudding:
- Drop the pudding mix in the big bowl and add cold milk. Whip with the mixer for 2 minutes until it's thick, scraping the sides now and then.
- Gently fold Cool Whip:
- Add the soft Cool Whip and softly fold it in with a spoon—skip the mixer so you don't make it soupy.
- Stir in Oreos:
- Hold back a handful of crushed Oreos for topping. Dump in the rest and stir just until mixed. Don't go crazy—keep it light.
- Chill time:
- Seal the bowl with plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge at least an hour. Longer makes it thicker and tastier.
- Finish & serve:
- Right before eating, sprinkle on the saved Oreos. Dig in while the cookie crumbles are still crisp.

Nailing It
Use milk that's super cold for the thickest texture. Don't grind Oreos totally—tiny bits won’t give you the good crunch. Be gentle when folding stuff in. Let it chill so it sets nicely. Wait until serving to add extra cookies on top so they stay crunchy.
Quick Fixes
If it's too runny, maybe your milk wasn't cold or you stirred it too tough. Too thick? Splash in some more milk. If cookies got mushy, just pile on a few fresh ones before eating. If you get clumps in the pudding, try mixing more next time. For extra Oreo goodness, toss in more cookie pieces. Not sweet enough? Stir in a spoonful of powdered sugar.
Fun Serving Ideas
Spoon into little cups for friends. Use it as a dip for berries or graham crackers. Build parfaits by layering more Oreos in jars. Throw on chocolate candies or sprinkles for fun. Sliced bananas work great in there too. Top with mini Oreos if you want it to pop.
Storing Leftovers
Will stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days if covered well. Leave it uncovered and the top dries out. Don’t stick it in the freezer or it'll go watery. If you're saving some, keep the extra cookies off till serving time. Give it a stir before scooping out. If it's too cold, let it warm for a bit before eating.

Switch It Up
Grab different Oreo flavors—mint is awesome here. Chocolate pudding instead of vanilla totally works. Chunk up your favorite candy and add it on top. Mini chips are fun to sprinkle in. Nuts make it crunchy too. Go wild with a chocolate drizzle. Colored Oreos can match any holiday vibe.
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I use homemade whipped cream?
Sure thing! Whip 2 cups of heavy cream till it’s soft and fluffy – not too stiff. Add 2 spoons of sugar as you go. Fresh cream might make it a bit softer than Cool Whip, so try using a tad less. Want it to stay firmer? Add half a spoon of dry vanilla pudding mix while whipping. Just don’t overdo it or you’ll end up with butter! Some people like splitting it half-and-half with Cool Whip for better structure.
- → How long should I chill it?
At least an hour in the fridge helps it set up nicely. Overnight is even better since the cookies turn delightfully soft, almost cake-like. In a pinch? Pop it in the freezer for 30 minutes, but don’t leave it too long. Keep checking to make sure it’s scoopable but not frozen solid. The flavors blend more the longer it sits!
- → Any fun add-ins people like?
Tons of possibilities! Toss in mini chocolate chips or crushed candy bars like Butterfingers. Fresh berries give it a tangy pop. Drizzle chocolate syrup or caramel on top. Sprinkle chopped nuts for a crunch. Some folks add marshmallows, cookie crumbles, or even graham crackers. Just don’t overload it, or it loses that soft fluffiness. Add extras right before serving so they stay in perfect shape!
- → Can I prep it in advance?
Absolutely! You can make it up to two days ahead. Keep it tightly covered in the fridge. Sprinkle a little Oreo crumble on top before serving to make it look fresh. If it firms up too much, let it sit out a few minutes and stir lightly. It’s ideal for parties since there’s no last-minute fuss. Pre-portioning it into cups also works great for grab-and-go desserts!
- → Any gluten-free alternatives?
Yes! Switch to gluten-free sandwich cookies; brands like Glutino or Kinnikinnick have great options. Those gluten-free chocolate wafers from Pamela’s also work well. Double-check the pudding mix too since some might sneak in gluten. Same delicious result, just be sure to read those labels. For extra chocolate, toss in some gluten-free chocolate chips. The creamy layers are naturally gluten-free, so it’s just the cookies to adjust!
