Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Filling

  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
  • 10 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Crush a generous amount of Oreo cookies finely and mix them with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this firmly into the bottom of your serving dish to create a sturdy, flavorful crust.
  2. Whip up the creamy filling: In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the instant pudding mix and cold milk until fully combined, then fold in the whipped topping to create a light, fluffy texture.
  3. Add Oreos to the filling: Roughly chop additional Oreo cookies, then gently fold them into the creamy mixture, ensuring chunks are evenly distributed for that classic “dirt” look and crunchy surprise in every bite.
  4. Assemble the layers: Spread the creamy Oreo filling evenly over the cookie crust layer. For layered perfection, you can add more crushed Oreos on top or create alternating layers for added texture and depth of flavor.
  5. Chill and set: Refrigerate your No-Bake Oreo Dirt Cake for at least 4 hours or overnight. This step allows the flavors to meld together and the cake to firm up for easy slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use chilled ingredients like cold milk and cream cheese to help the filling set properly and stay firm.
  • Fold in the Oreos gently to keep cookie chunks intact and maintain texture variety.
  • Press the crust firmly to prevent it from crumbling when serving and to form a solid base.
  • Chill the dessert long enough – ideally overnight – for better flavor melding and consistency.
  • Use fresh Oreos to ensure a crunchy contrast with the creamy filling.
  • Substitute dairy ingredients with dairy-free alternatives for a vegan version.
