22 Oreo Dessert Recipes for Cookies & Cream Fanatics
Updated: Feb. 17, 2024
These Oreo dessert recipes are a breeze to make. No oven necessary—but milk is optional!
Of course, Oreos are good on their own (or dunked into a glass of cold milk), but there’s something special about Oreo dessert recipes. They take our favorite store-bought cookies and transform them into fantastic sweets to share.
What makes these Oreo dessert recipes even better is that they’re all no-bake. That’s right: You don’t need to preheat the oven for these. Instead, break open a bag and get to making these icebox cakes, no-bake cheesecakes and candies.
Dirt Dessert
No list of Oreo dessert recipes could ever be complete without a dirt cake recipe or two! Be sure to add a few gummy worms for a fun and kid-approved touch.
Chocolate Rum Balls
Roll these truffle-like rum balls in crushed Oreos to get just the right amount of crunch. They can be made a few days in advance and even stashed in the freezer. And don’t skip the coffee granules in this treat. Coffee and espresso really do bring out the flavor of chocolate.
Oreo Mousse Cake
Add this cake to our growing list of amazing five-ingredient desserts. This treat starts with an Oreo crust and gets topped with even more crumbled cookies on top.
Cowboy Bark
This copycat recipe was once a staple at Trader Joe’s. While the product has been discontinued, you can make this treat—complete with dark chocolate, nuts, pretzels, toffee and Oreos—right at home. It takes just minutes to prep. The only hard part is waiting for it to set in the fridge!
No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake
Baked cheesecakes are time-consuming and often fussy. But this no-bake version takes out all the guesswork. Instead, this treat comes together easily thanks to a few dollops of whipped topping. If you’re looking for more recipes, then learn how to make no-bake Oreo pie.
