Introduction

Oreo Dump Cake is a simple, indulgent dessert that combines creamy, chocolaty goodness with the crunch of Oreo cookies. With minimal effort, you can create a crowd-pleasing treat perfect for any occasion.

A white plate holds a dessert with three main layers: the bottom layer is crumbled dark chocolate brownie pieces with a rough texture, the middle layer is a smooth, creamy scoop of vanilla ice cream placed on top of the brownies, and the top layer is thick, glossy dark chocolate sauce being poured over the ice cream and dripping down onto the brownies, creating shiny dark streaks. The plate is set against a white marbled texture background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute Oreos with other chocolate sandwich cookies or even chocolate chip cookies, but the flavor and texture will vary slightly.

Do I need to thaw the whipped topping before using?

Yes, thaw the whipped topping so it spreads easily but avoid letting it get too soft or runny to maintain the dessert’s layers.

Main Ingredients

25 Oreo cookies
14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
8 ounce whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed but not frozen
15¼ ounce chocolate cake mix (dry)
½ cup sweet salted butter (1 stick), melted

Instructions

Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dump cake.
Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Layer Oreos: Spread the whole Oreo cookies evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
Add sweetened condensed milk: Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the Oreos, allowing it to soak slightly.
Sprinkle cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the condensed milk and Oreos, covering them completely.
Drizzle melted butter: Pour the melted salted butter evenly over the top of the cake mix to moisten and create a crisp topping.
Bake the cake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Cool and add topping: Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool completely. Once cool, spread the whipped topping evenly over the surface.
Chill before serving: Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving to allow it to set properly and enhance flavors.

Notes

You can substitute Oreos with any chocolate sandwich cookies if preferred.
Make sure the whipped topping is thawed but chilled for best spreading texture.
For a deeper chocolate flavor, try using a devil’s food cake mix instead of regular chocolate.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 to 4 days for freshness.
Optional: sprinkle some crushed Oreos on top of the whipped topping for an extra decorative touch.
