This OREO pudding cake recipe brings together the bittersweet cocoa of OREO cookies and the creaminess and sweetness of chocolate pudding, cream cheese and whipped topping. There’s really no way to go wrong here.
Who doesn’t love an OREO dessert?
Especially when it’s a no-bake pudding cake (or lush cake) like this one!
How to make this no-bake pudding cake
To make Oreo pudding cake, start by making an Oreo cookie crust with these Oreo cookies, and I totally think you need to leave the cookie crumbles sorta chunky!
Yes, you can roll them fine if you wish, but trust me… the cookie chunks work.
Next comes a layer of cream cheese, powdered sugar and Cool Whip, followed by pudding, Cool Whip and a topping of Oreo cookie crumbles.
It’s super easy to make, but plan on chilling each of the layers a bit before moving on to the next.
All of this happens in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, by the way.
OREO desserts go over really well at parties, so try serving this Oreo pudding cake at your next summer event. Adults and kids will love it!

JIll says
This is a family favorite now!
Lindsay says

Jeanette says
Just made this dessert, my new fav!! It was delicious!! My family said it tasted liked ice cream cake and I did not freeze it?
Liz says
Awesome! I’m so glad it was a big hit!
Mary Lou Morrison says
My family loves this dessert. I also make it with the golden Oreos and use banana instant pudding. My family like this as well.
Liz says
Yes, I love that version too!!!
Olga says
Liz, thank you very much! Wonderful combination of ingredients. It look so yummy!
Heather says
This dessert is the best!! I used 1/2 cup of peanut butter in my cream cheese mixture and it was amazing ????
George Waskas says
I was just wondering can this be frozen a made into an Ice Cream cake ?????
Liz says
That’s actually a really good question since it’s something I haven’t tried. I honestly don’t know!
Robbin says
I have made this before, many times my aunt taught me. WE just dont use the powdered sugar. The cookie crust and pudding add enough sweetness for us..
Liz says
That sounds delicious as well!
Connie Parker says
I make something similar but instead of the cream cheese layer I use vanilla ice cream and replace the pudding layer with a jar of hot fudge ice cream topping, freeze and serve. It is fabulous
sharon whitt says
could you send recipe? sharon194d@yahoo.com
Nicolle says
What is the purpose of the cream cheese? Can you use something else?
Liz says
It’s there for flavor, and it’s mixed with the COOL WHIP and powdered sugar to give it the right sweetness and consistency. I can’t think of any substitutes I’d recommend in this particular recipe.
ingrid says
Making this today for my kids… maybe for me too!!! 🙂 Looking at the video I understand that 16 ounces of cool whip is enough, although on the list of ingredients it says 16 oz twice..
.
Liz says
Ha! No matter how many times I proofread…. lol
Kelly says
I am going to use the oreos with red filling for our family party. Cannot wait!
Lisa Ehrman says
This looks amazing 🙂
Joanne says
On the video it shows three cups milk but the ingredients say two cups. How many cups do I use?
Liz says
I’m glad you caught this! The 5 oz (larger size) box needs 3 cups milk. If you were using the smaller size, you could use 2 cups milk. Either combination would work technically, so whatever you have on hand is ok. I used the larger size when I made it for the video.
Tonya says
I did the 5oz of pudding and did 3 cups cold milk my pudding isn’t thick it’s very runny HELP what did I do wrong?
Liz says
Oh nooooo! Are you sure the pudding you used was the instant kind? As you whisk it into the cold milk, it really should have firmed up within minutes, and more so upon being chilled!
d holley says
Was wondering can you use Coconut Milk instead regular milk????
Liz says
Have you ever tried using coconut milk with pudding? I’m not familiar with its consistency, so I’m honestly not sure. Before making the full dessert, maybe you could try just making a small box of pudding on its own with coconut milk. If it works, then try the whole dessert! But I’d definitely make sure the coconut milk is well chilled.

This looks amazing. When I first worked in the States at the tender age of 19, I had my first Oreo and loved it. When I got home I found they seemed to be a very American thing. I struggled to find them here in the UK. Luckily they got wise to it and now my cravibgs can be met at home too. Especially with recipes like this!
