Oreo Delight Recipe: A Creamy, No-Bake Dessert Everyone Will Love
Looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing dessert? Oreo Delight is a no-bake treat that’s perfect for any occasion. With layers of crushed Oreo cookies, fluffy cream cheese filling, and creamy pudding, this dessert is rich, indulgent, and incredibly simple to make. Oreo Delight is a hit with kids and adults alike, making it ideal for parties, potlucks, or as a weeknight indulgence.
In this article, we'll share the step-by-step process for creating this delicious dessert, along with tips and variations to customize it to your taste.
Why You’ll Love Oreo Delight
Oreo Delight is the ultimate no-bake dessert, combining the best flavors and textures—crunchy Oreo cookies, a light and creamy cheesecake-like filling, and smooth pudding. It’s a layered dessert that looks impressive but takes only minutes to assemble. Because it requires no baking, it’s perfect for warm days or when you need a dessert in a hurry. Plus, it can easily be made ahead of time, making it a go-to choice for entertaining.
Ingredients for Oreo Delight
To make this rich and creamy Oreo Delight, you’ll need:
1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies (crushed, about 36 cookies)
1/2 cup butter (melted)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 (12 oz) container whipped topping (such as Cool Whip, divided)
2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
3 1/4 cups cold milk
Optional toppings:ᅠCrushed Oreos, chocolate chips, chocolate drizzle
Step-by-Step Recipe for Oreo Delight
Step 1: Create the Oreo Crust
Start by crushing the Oreo cookies. You can do this by placing the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin, or by pulsing them in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Set aside about 1/4 cup of the crushed Oreos for topping.
In a medium bowl, mix the remaining Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the other layers.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Spread this cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Return the dish to the refrigerator while you prepare the next layer.
Step 3: Prepare the Pudding Layer
In another mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding thickens. Allow the pudding to sit for a few minutes to set fully.
Once the pudding is set, spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Step 4: Add the Whipped Topping
Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer, making sure to cover the entire surface of the dessert.
Step 5: Garnish and Chill
Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos over the top of the whipped topping for a decorative and crunchy finish. You can also add mini chocolate chips or drizzle melted chocolate on top if you want extra indulgence.
Chill the Oreo Delight in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
Tips for Making the Best Oreo Delight
Chill for better texture: Allowing the dessert to chill for several hours (or overnight) helps the layers set and ensures the flavors blend together perfectly.
Use a hand mixer: For a smooth cream cheese layer, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until there are no lumps.
Try different flavors:ᅠWhile chocolate pudding is classic for Oreo Delight, you can experiment with other pudding flavors like vanilla, cheesecake, or even peanut butter.
Customize the toppings:ᅠAdd more texture and flavor by topping the dessert with a variety of garnishes such as caramel drizzle, chopped nuts, or sprinkles.
Make it ahead:ᅠOreo Delight can be made a day in advance, making it perfect for gatherings when you need to prep a dessert ahead of time.
Why This Recipe Works
The layers of this Oreo Delight create a balanced dessert that hits all the right notes—sweet, creamy, crunchy, and chocolatey. The buttery Oreo crust adds a crunchy base, while the cream cheese layer adds a tangy creaminess that pairs perfectly with the rich chocolate pudding. The whipped topping gives it a light, airy finish, making the dessert rich but not overly heavy. The contrast of textures and flavors makes each bite a delightful experience.
Serving Suggestions for Oreo Delight
For gatherings: Oreo Delight is a fantastic dessert for potlucks, parties, or family gatherings. It’s easy to transport and can be made in a large batch.
As a holiday treat: This dessert is a great addition to holiday dessert tables. Add festive toppings like crushed peppermint or colored sprinkles for a seasonal touch.
For special occasions: Oreo Delight is a fun and indulgent treat for birthdays, celebrations, or just a weekend indulgence. Its no-bake simplicity makes it a stress-free option.
Conclusion
Oreo Delight is the ultimate no-bake dessert for anyone who loves rich, creamy, and chocolatey treats. With layers of Oreo crumbs, cream cheese filling, and chocolate pudding, it’s an indulgent yet easy-to-make dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re preparing it for a party or as a special treat for your family, Oreo Delight is sure to become a favorite.

Tzimmes cakes, muffins and desserts pop-up in community cookbooks, cooking blogs and even on the popular Food Network competition show “Chopped.” It’s not surprising — American tzimmes is often sweet, made with many of the ingredients that can be found in a classic carrot cake — like carrots, cinnamon and dried fruit. And tzimmes is just one dish in a longstanding Ashkenazi tradition of sides and desserts made from carrots, like carrot rings, kugels and carrot puddings. 
Growing up, tzimmes was served for special occasions; it was always made with simmered, very soft carrots, with orange juice concentrate mixed in. At Thanksgiving, sweet potatoes were swapped for carrots, making for a non-traditional, very Ashkenazi side dish at the table. As I began hosting Jewish holidays at my own table, my tzimmes recipe evolved over the years to include carrots drizzled with honey, tossed with ginger and cardamom, studded with dates, and roasted in the oven to give the dish more texture and caramelization. This recipe takes my favorite version of tzimmes and turns it into a simple one-bowl cake, with no special equipment or complicated techniques required. Think of it as a cross between honey cake and carrot cake, with an Ashkenazi twist. Of course, it’s perfect for Rosh Hashanah, but in my house it’s a year-round treat.
Combining both sweet potato and carrot results in a slightly lighter texture than pure carrot, and there’s a burst of welcome tartness from the addition of dried cherries that rounds out the sweetness of honey and warming spices.
Notes:
You can top this dairy-free cake with powdered sugar or a simple glaze, if desired. 
This tzimmes cake tastes even better the next day, and lasts up to five days stored, covered, at room temperature.

Upper body as the focus, I worked on some pull workouts to build strength in the back and bicep. I then had dinner and the soup was low calorie and high volume, so it was extremely filling. The whole day I was able to stay full.

Would you share a good cheesecake recipe with us? Thanks 🌸
Hello!
This is a really tough question, to be honest. 😂
I mean, cheesecakes are in general pretty versatile and they can be accustomed to anybody's taste.
The other reason why it's hard for me to answer is the fact that I don't really follow any recipe 100%. I usually take inspiration from a recipe and then swap an ingredient or two, change the measurements (usually using less sugar) and so on. I also don't really measure precicely, I just guess the right amount by eye. 😂 I'm trully more of an alchemyst than a baker, one day I will attempt a red velvet cake and end up with the eternal youth elixir or something. 🤣
However, I have found a recipe for Cherry Cheesecake which resembles the one I did the most. You can check out in the link. I don't remember with which recipe I learned it but I also sometimes add melted white chocolate into the cheese filling instead of sugar. And when I want it to be more vanilla and at the same time more compact without adding eggs, I mix vanilla pudding powder into the cheese filling (it's basically vanilla flavour starch, therefore it will make the cake more firm, yet jiggly... it would work with other flavours of the pudding as well).
I also really loved Caramel Cheesecake, for those who prefer fruit-free ones. The recipe in the link is the most similar to the one I did again. I didn't have to use caramels and evaporated milk, though, because we have something like a ready to spread caramel topping, which is mostly a condensed milk with caramel flavour. I don't know if it's available in other countries.
Tumblr media
It's really perfect for cheesecakes or any desserts. Only a bit too sweet for my taste so I usually add no sugar into the cheese filling to compensate. 😂
So yeah! Two recipes, you can pick. The first one can be done with any kind of fruit, to be frank. 😊
I hope this satisfies your tastes. 😉

Chocolate Sapote Pie
Tumblr media
Hey 3WD, why are you making a vegan, gluten-free, no-processed-sugar dessert?  Well, you see, I have friends with many, many allergies and felt like a challenge.
This recipe is an experiment with Black Sapote (also called Chocolate Pudding Fruit) – a seasonal persimmon relative that’s high in Vitamin C and has a pudding-like flesh with mild chocolate and caramel notes.  While limited availability of Sapotes means it’s not as accessible as something like Chocolate Avocado Pie, it’s a fun thing to play with if you like poking around with the weird fruit section of produce markets (as a bonus, Black Sapotes were selling for $1-2 per fruit both times I visited).
Let's get cooking:
Kitchen equipment
Blender/food processor
Beaters (hand-crank or electric)
20cm (8 inch) springform cake tin
Baking/ Greaseproof paper
Fridge & Oven
Fine mesh sieve (or tea strainer)
Mixing bowls, spatula, knives, spoons etc.
Prep-time
Bench work: approx. 40 minutes
Oven time: approx. 30 minutes
Cooling time: approx. 2-3 hours (minimum)
Coconut cream chill time:  12 hours (minimum)*
*Coconut cream needs to be refrigerated for 12 hours in order to separate properly before whipping.  Put your cream in the fridge the night before.
Ingredients
Tumblr media
Pie crust
300g (10.5 Oz) pecans
4 large medjool dates (seeds removed, roughly chopped)
1 tsp salt
4 tbsp (approx. 60g/ 2 Oz) margarine, melted
Filling
2 large, ripe Black Sapotes*
1/2 cup (125mL) cocoa powder
4 large medjool dates (seeds removed, roughly chopped)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp espresso powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
*Black Sapotes are ripe when the skin has darkened to a dull green-brown and the fruit is very soft to the touch (it will look and feel over-ripe).
Topping
One 400mL (13.5 Fl Oz) can high-quality full-fat coconut cream*
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Approx. 80g (3 Oz) pecans, toasted** and crumbled
Cocoa powder for dusting
*Use a premium quality coconut cream – the difference in price is very small and cheaper creams may not separate properly, which will stop them from whipping up. **Toast pecans by baking in a preheated 140°C/248°F (fan forced) oven for 15-30 minutes until done to your liking. 
Instructions
Pie crust (Inspiration recipe)
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (fan forced).
Line the base and sides of the spring form pan with baking paper.  (Try to minimise wrinkles/folds in the paper lining – this will make it easier to remove the crust later.)
Place chopped dates, pecans and salt into a blender.  Blend until the mixture has the texture of breadcrumbs/ almond meal.
Stream in melted margarine and blend until completely combined (crumbs should stick together when pressed)
Press mixture into a firm, even layer across the base and up the sides of the spring form tin, using clean hands or the back of a spoon to smooth down.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust begins to brown.  (Watch closely after the 8-minute mark to prevent burning).
Remove from oven. If the crust has puffed up, press back down using the back of a spoon. (Tip: use a toothpick or fork to gently pop any large air-pockets in the base.)
Cool on a wire rack or heat-safe cutting board until the crust reaches room temperature.
Filling (Inspiration recipe)
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F (fan forced).
Cut open the Black Sapotes.  Remove the seeds and scoop/scrape the flesh out with a spoon. (Note: because Black Sapote skin is very thin and soft when ripe, it cannot be traditionally peeled.)
Transfer one quarter of the fruit flesh to a blender, along with the chopped dates.  Process until completely smooth.
Transfer the sweetened sapote mixture into a bowl alongside the remaining sapote flesh.  Mix until completely combined (use your spoon or spatula to break down any lumps or fibers in the fruit flesh).
Fold in the cocoa powder, expresso powder, vanilla and salt until completely combined.  Taste for flavouring and adjust with more cocoa/vanilla/espresso/salt as desired.  (Note:  adding cocoa will increase the bitterness of the filling alongside the chocolate-y flavour.  This can be hard to counteract without adding sugar or blending in more dates so be careful how much you add at once.)
Transfer filling into your pre-prepared pecan crust.  Smooth the top with a spoon or spatula.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the filling is lightly firm to the touch.
Cool completely on a wire rack or heat-safe cutting board, then cover and transfer to the fridge until chilled through.
Cream Topping (Inspiration recipe)
Chill coconut cream for at least 12 hours.
Remove coconut cream from the fridge (Note:  DO NOT Shake).
Use a spoon to scoop out the thick cream that has risen to the top, leaving the watery parts behind.  (The more water is in your cream, the less firmly it will whip).  Transfer the thick cream to a bowl.  (Tip: have an extra jar of chilled cream on hand in case the cream yield from the first tin is low)
Add the vanilla and salt to the cream. Stir through, then taste test and adjust the vanilla/salt as needed. (Note: Like with plain dairy cream, this should taste more neutral than sweet).
Beat your cream, starting on a slow speed.  Gradually increase speed until whipped to thick, semi-stiff peaks. (Tip: if your cream is very soft to start with, try covering and chilling in the refrigerator to help it firm up.)
Remove the chilled sapote tart from the spring form pan. (Optional:  If the sides of your pecan crust are much taller than your filling, you can use a pair of clean, sharp kitchen scissors to trim it down.  Use a clean hand to shield the pie filling from any falling crust-crumbs).
Spoon the whipped cream onto the sapote filling, using the back of the spoon to make decorative swirls.  (Optional: use a piping bag with a decorative nozzle for a fancier top).
Sprinkle the cream with crumbled pecans.  Dust with cocoa powder using a fine sieve or tea-strainer.  (Note: Add the nuts first - otherwise the cocoa powder will prevent them from sticking to the cream, causing them to roll everywhere when the pie is cut).
Return to the fridge until the coconut cream is completely chilled.
Serve.

🍫 No-Bake Snickers Pie Bliss! 🥜
My grandma Ruth had a habit of turning “sweet tooth emergencies” into moments of magic—armed with a candy stash in her apron and a sparkle in her eye. One hot summer day with no ice cream in sight, she whipped up what would become our family’s favorite pie: creamy, nutty, chocolatey bliss with no oven required. Now it’s my go-to “just because” dessert. Trust me—one bite and you’ll be hooked. ❤️
👇 Here's how to make it:
🛒 Ingredients
Graham cracker crumbs (or Oreos, pretzels for fun twists!)
Granulated sugar
Unsalted butter (or coconut oil for vegan vibes)
Cream cheese
Creamy peanut butter
Cheesecake pudding mix (or vanilla)
Heavy whipping cream (or chilled coconut cream)
Chopped Snickers bars
Whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
👩‍🍳 Directions 1️⃣ Make the crust: Mix crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into pie dish and chill (or bake for 10 mins for crunch). 2️⃣ Whip the filling: Blend cream cheese, peanut butter, and powdered sugar. Slowly add pudding mix and cream. Whip until fluffy. 3️⃣ Fold & fill: Fold in half the whipped topping and Snickers pieces. Pour into crust, smooth the top, and chill at least 2 hours. 4️⃣ Top & serve: Add more whipped topping, Snickers chunks, and caramel drizzle before slicing.
🥄 Tips & Fun Ideas
Try Twix or Reese’s instead of Snickers
Make it gluten-free or vegan with easy swaps
Freeze slices for a firmer treat
Don’t worry if it’s messy—it’s meant to be fun!

Tzimmes cakes, muffins and desserts pop-up in community cookbooks, cooking blogs and even on the popular Food Network competition show “Chopped.” It’s not surprising — American tzimmes is often sweet, made with many of the ingredients that can be found in a classic carrot cake — like carrots, cinnamon and dried fruit. And tzimmes is just one dish in a longstanding Ashkenazi tradition of sides and desserts made from carrots, like carrot rings, kugels and carrot puddings. 
Growing up, tzimmes was served for special occasions; it was always made with simmered, very soft carrots, with orange juice concentrate mixed in. At Thanksgiving, sweet potatoes were swapped for carrots, making for a non-traditional, very Ashkenazi side dish at the table. As I began hosting Jewish holidays at my own table, my tzimmes recipe evolved over the years to include carrots drizzled with honey, tossed with ginger and cardamom, studded with dates, and roasted in the oven to give the dish more texture and caramelization. This recipe takes my favorite version of tzimmes and turns it into a simple one-bowl cake, with no special equipment or complicated techniques required. Think of it as a cross between honey cake and carrot cake, with an Ashkenazi twist. Of course, it’s perfect for Rosh Hashanah, but in my house it’s a year-round treat.
Combining both sweet potato and carrot results in a slightly lighter texture than pure carrot, and there’s a burst of welcome tartness from the addition of dried cherries that rounds out the sweetness of honey and warming spices.
Notes:
You can top this dairy-free cake with powdered sugar or a simple glaze, if desired. 
This tzimmes cake tastes even better the next day, and lasts up to five days stored, covered, at room temperature.
