Combining layers of classic Oreo cookies, creamy sweetened condensed milk, fluffy whipped topping, and indulgent chocolate cake mix, this dessert will quickly become a family favorite. Whether you’re hosting a gathering or simply craving something sweet, this easy-to-make cake is the perfect choice for any occasion.
Ingredients:
24 Oreo cookies
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 carton (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed
¾ cup (1½ sticks) cold butter, sliced into thin pats
1 package (15.25 ounces) chocolate fudge cake mix
Directions:
Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to ensure your cake doesn’t stick to the pan.
Layer the Oreo Cookies:
Arrange 24 Oreo cookies in a single layer at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Don’t worry about breaking them—they’ll form a delicious base for the cake.
Add the Sweetened Condensed Milk:
Evenly pour the sweetened condensed milk over the layer of Oreos. The milk will soak into the cookies and create a rich, creamy texture.
Spread the Whipped Topping:
Next, spread the thawed whipped topping over the condensed milk layer. Make sure the topping covers the surface evenly, creating a fluffy layer atop the other ingredients.
Sprinkle the Cake Mix:
Take the chocolate fudge cake mix and sprinkle it evenly over the whipped topping. There’s no need to mix it—just let it sit as a dry layer for now.
Add the Butter:
Slice the cold butter into thin pats and arrange them evenly on top of the cake mix. The butter will melt during baking, helping the cake to form a golden, crispy top.
Bake the Cake:
Bake the cake in your preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are bubbly. You should see a golden, crispy top that’s slightly puffed.
Let it Cool and Serve:
Once your cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra indulgence.
Serving Tips:
Serve Warm: Oreo Dump Cake is at its best when served warm. The gooey, melt-in-your-mouth texture is perfect with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. You can also top it with whipped cream or even some crushed Oreos for added crunch.
Portion Control: While it’s tempting to eat a large portion, this cake is rich and indulgent. Cut into small squares to ensure everyone gets a satisfying bite without overindulging.
Pairing Suggestions: The richness of Oreo Dump Cake pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or milk. If you’re serving it at a party, it complements other sweet treats like brownies or fruit salad.
Toppings and Add-ins: Get creative with additional toppings! Consider adding a few chocolate chips, a sprinkle of crushed Oreos, or even mini marshmallows for added texture and flavor.
Storage Tips:
Storing Leftovers: If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. The cake will remain soft and gooey, so you can enjoy it for a few days after making it.
Refrigeration: If you want to keep it fresh longer, store the leftover cake in the fridge for up to 5 days. The whipped topping and condensed milk may harden a little, but it will still taste great.
Freezing: Oreo Dump Cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, allow the cake to cool completely, then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or foil before placing it in an airtight container. To serve, let it thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat in the oven for 10-15 minutes at 350°F (175°C) until warm.
Reheating: To bring back the gooey texture, reheat your leftover cake in the microwave for 20-30 seconds per serving, or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warm.

FAQs:
Can I use different types of Oreos for this recipe?
Absolutely! While classic Oreos are a popular choice, you can experiment with different flavors like Golden Oreos, Double Stuf, or even seasonal varieties to customize the flavor of your cake.
Do I need to prepare the cake mix before adding it to the dish?
No, you don’t need to prepare the cake mix as directed on the box. Simply sprinkle the dry cake mix directly over the whipped topping. The butter and moisture from the other ingredients will cook the mix to perfection.
Can I make Oreo Dump Cake ahead of time?
Yes! You can assemble the cake up to a day in advance and store it covered in the refrigerator before baking. When you’re ready to serve, simply bake it according to the instructions. This makes it a great option for parties or busy schedules.
What can I use instead of whipped topping?
If you prefer not to use whipped topping, you can substitute with homemade whipped cream or a lightly sweetened cream cheese mixture for a slightly tangier flavor. Just ensure it has a similar consistency for the layers to bake correctly.
