How to Make This Easy Oreo Fluff Recipe

Don’t blink, or you’ll be done with this easy, sweet dessert dip recipe. It’s that fast!

Step 1 | Make the Cool Whip substitute

First, make the homemade whipped topping by whipping the heavy cream in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer and a medium bowl.

Mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and place it in the fridge until it’s time to fold it in.

Step 2 | Crush Oreo cookies

Place Oreos or your favorite sandwich cream cookies in a sturdy ziplock baggie, wack a few times with a rolling pin, then roll until the cookies crumble. Stop when you have a good mixture of chunks and fine crumbs.

Step 3 | Beat cream cheese base

Next, beat the room-temperature cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl until smooth and fluffy.

Step 4 | Finish Oreo cookie dip

Then, take the whipped cream out of the fridge and fold in with the cream cheese mix until the ingredients are fully blended. Finally, gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies, garnishing with additional Oreo crumbles.

And, if you can wait, chill the dip for 30 minutes before serving, then dig on in! I recommend tasting a spoonful before it goes in the fridge – for quality control. 😉

When this Oreo dip becomes a new family favorite, try my other fluffy and creamy dessert dips, like decadent Chocolate Fruit Dip, sweet and silky Marshmallow Fluff Dip, and my fall-favorite, Pumpkin Fluff with pumpkin puree and traditional pumpkin pie spices.

Best Dippers for Oreo Fluff

• Oreo Cookies: Trade the cold glass of milk for this delicious dessert dip next time you bring the Oreos!
• Other Cookies and Crackers: Vanilla wafers and crisp graham crackers are also tasty Oreo dip dippers with mild and sweet flavors.
• Pretzels: Salty and sweet! Try pretzel rods, butter snaps, or sourdough pretzels. 
• Fresh Fruit: Juicy and full of flavor, fresh sliced fruit, like strawberries, bananas, apples, and pears, are perfect for the creamy texture of this dip recipe.
• Marshmallows: Dip mini marshmallows or full-size marshmallows for a chewy texture. 
• Cake Pieces: Slices of pound cake or angel food cake bring a soft and spongy texture to soak up the irresistible fluff flavors. 
• Donut Holes: Glazed, chocolate, powdered – you name it!
• Chocolate-covered Pretzels: Add more sweetness to the salty and sweet combo with chocolate or yogurt-covered pretzels. Experiment with dark, milk, and white chocolate variations!

Serving Suggestion: Spoon or pipe this Oreo fluff recipe to a parfait glass or top another dessert, like fresh-baked brownies; it will be a huge hit.

Change the Extract: Switch the vanilla extract for another, like caramel, almond, or a fruity flavor.

Gluten-Free Oreo Fluff

Swap the regular Oreos with gluten-free Oreos or your favorite GF sandwich cookie in this easy dessert.

Vegan Oreo Mousse

Did you know that Oreo’s are naturally vegan!? Yep! So use your favorite plant-based cream cheese and your favorite non-dairy whipped topping and you are golden! This Oreo mousse will have everyone swooning!

Lower Sugar Oreo Mousse

While you cannot make this recipe sugar-free or low-carb (hello cookies), unless you find sugar-free Oreos or other sandwich cream cookies, but you can reduce the sugar. Use a monk fruit powdered sugar replacement; this is my favorite brand.

Storage Tips

Refrigerate – The best way to save leftovers of Oreo fluff is to store it in an airtight container or cover the large bowl tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Though as usual, depending on your fridge, it might last longer, do the sniff test if it smells off, don’t eat it. 

How long can Oreo fluff salad stay out?

This is another judgement call, if you are serving this dessert dip outside on a hot day, probably only about an hour, though you can extend that by placing the bowl inside a bowl of ice, giving it another hour.

If you are serving for game day in the chill of winter, your dip can safely stay out for 2 hours. If needed only put out a little at a time, keeping the remaining dip in the fridge and refilling the bowl as needed.

Can I freeze Oreo dip?

I don’t suggest freezing Oreo salad because of the dairy content. The cream tends to separate when thawed.
