The first time I made this OREO dip, it was supposed to be for a party. It did not make it to the party.
It got “taste tested” straight out of the bowl with a spoon, then a few strawberries, then a couple of pretzels, and by the time I looked up, half the bowl was gone and I had to think up something else to take. So here is your warning right up front.
It is creamy, it is sweet, it has crushed Double Stuff OREOs folded all the way through it, and it takes about 10 minutes to throw together. It does very well at making the last few OREOs stretch into something delectable, dippable, and easily shared. (Well, you can share it if you want to.)

What Is OREO Dip?
Oreo dip is a no-bake, sweet dessert dip made from cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, and Cool Whip, with roughly crushed Oreos folded in. Think of it like a soft cookies-and-cream cheesecake filling that you scoop instead of slice, but it’s not soft like pudding, it’s cream-cheese dense.
Why You’ll Love This Oreo Dip
- Just five, no-bake ingredients: Cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, whipped topping, OREOs.
- It takes about 10 minutes. Most of that is time spent crushing cookies (and taste-testing the occasional piece; quality control, if you will).
- It feeds a crowd. One batch serves about 8 as a dip, more if people are just grazing the dessert table.
- Travels well. I’ve never met an OREO dip I wasn’t happy to see walk through the door.
Ingredients
- Cream cheese (8 ounces, softened). Use a full-fat block of cream cheese, not the spreadable tub kind, and let it soften on the counter first. Cold cream cheese leaves little lumps that will not beat out. (Ask me how I know.)
- Powdered sugar (1 1/2 cups). Powdered, not granulated. It sweetens the dip and blends in without the gritty texture of table sugar.
- Vanilla extract (2 teaspoons). It adds depth of flavor and complements the sweetness.
- Cool Whip (16 ounces, thawed). This is what makes it light and dippable instead of dense like frosting. Thaw it in the fridge first. Use can use Extra Creamy if you want (my fave).
- Double Stuf Oreos (20 cookies). The whole cookie goes in, filling and all. Double Stuf gives you more of that cream-center flavor, but regular Oreos will do. Use what you have: Golden? Mega Stuf? Mini? Just use what you’ve got.
- Pinch of salt. The cookie part has a bit of salt, but just a pinch adds a nice layer of flavor. Totally optional, though.
How To Make OREO Dip
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Pour in the vanilla and spoon in the thawed Cool Whip and mix, scraping down the edges of the bowl until fully combined.
- Roughly crush your Oreos so you get a mix of little crumbs and bigger chunks, not powder. Fold them into the dip gently.
- Spoon it all into a serving bowl and set it out with strawberries, pretzels, or extra Oreos for dipping.
Try these fun ideas too
- Peanut butter OREO dip. Beat in 1/3 cup of creamy peanut butter with the cream cheese. Could be the marriage of the century (sorry, Tay and Trav!)
- Mint OREO dip. Use Mint Oreos and add a tiny splash of peppermint extract. Thin Mint cookies would be an amazing dipper.
- Chocolate OREO dip. Add three tablespoons of Nutella.
- Even more cheesecake. Add 2 tablespoons of sour cream for a tangier, more cheesecake-leaning dip.
- Board it up. Spoon the dip in the center of a platter and build a whole dessert charcuterie board around it with fruit, pretzels, different kinds of cookies, the works. (This is a good place for Keebler Fudge Stripes to step in!)
