Easy Frozen Oreo Dessert

Name: Frozen Oreo Dessert
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 180 min
Total time: 195 min
Ingredients: 14.3 ounces Oreo cookies, (crushed and divided into 12 cookies, and the remainder); ¼ cup butter, (melted); 1 cup heavy whipping cream; 8 ounces cream cheese, (softened); 3 tablespoons sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla; 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk

This frozen Oreo dessert is an ice cream bar in disguise. The filling freezes smooth and creamy, instead of icy, because the condensed milk keeps it from setting hard. You get an Oreo crust on the bottom, cold cookies-and-cream filling through the middle, and crushed Oreos on top.

If you’ve ever wanted something between an Oreo ice cream cake and a classic frozen Dairy Queen bar, this is exactly that, without needing an ice cream maker or complicated steps.

Read Before You Start

This needs a minimum 4 hours in the fridge. Overnight is better. Plan ahead.
The cream cheese must be fully softened. Remove it from the fridge at least 30 minutes minimum beforehand.
Buy a family-size package of Oreos. Regular-size packages don’t have enough cookies for both the crust and the topping.

Ingredient Notes

A variety of baking ingredients on a counter, perfect for making an Easy Frozen Oreo Dessert, including sugar, vanilla extract, cream cheese, condensed milk, Oreo cookies, whipping cream, and a stick of butter.

Oreos: Get regular, not Double Stuffed. Double Stuffed throws off the crust-to-butter ratio and it won’t hold together as well.
Cool Whip: Must be fully thawed. Thaw in the fridge overnight. Or use my my homemade Cool Whip as a substitute.
Pudding mix: Instant only. Cook-and-serve won’t set properly without heat. Two small boxes (3.4 oz each), not one large.

Don’t Miss This Step

This is the step that separates a filling that freezes smooth and sliceable from one that turns into soup.

Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese with a spatula, using a slow under-and-over motion. Stirring it in, even by hand, deflates the whipping cream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes. It keeps in the freezer for up to a month. Just let it sit out for 15 minutes before serving so that it is easier to cut.

Do I have to store this in the freezer?

This is a frozen dessert. It must be stored in the freezer so the creamy filling is set.
