This 4-Ingredient Oreo Fluff folds crushed chocolate sandwich cookies into a light vanilla pudding and whipped topping base. The cookies soften as the dessert chills, giving every spoonful a cookies-and-cream flavor. Save a handful of crumbs for the top if you like a little crunch.
What You’ll Need
- Instant vanilla pudding mix. Use one 3.4-ounce box. Vanilla gives the fluff a mild base that lets the chocolate cookies stand out.
- Cold milk. Use the 1 cup specified in the recipe. That smaller amount makes a thick pudding base that holds up when the whipped topping goes in.
- Whipped topping. Thaw one 8-ounce tub before mixing so it folds smoothly into the pudding.
- Chocolate sandwich cookies. Crush 20 Oreos or similar cookies, including the crème filling. A mix of small crumbs and larger pieces gives the dessert more texture.
How to Make Oreo Fluff
Whisk the instant pudding mix with the cold milk for about 2 minutes, until smooth and slightly thickened. Add the thawed whipped topping and fold gently with a spatula until the mixture is fluffy and evenly blended.
Fold in the crushed cookies, reserving a small handful if you want a crumb topping. Spoon the fluff into a serving bowl or shallow glass dish, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Add the reserved cookies just before serving for the most crunch.
Tips for the Best Cookies-and-Cream Texture
- Crush the cookies coarsely. Small crumbs flavor the whole dessert, while larger pieces give each spoonful a little bite.
- Fold gently. Sweep the spatula under the pudding and lift it over the whipped topping. Stop once the streaks disappear.
- Choose your chill time. Serve after 30 minutes for more texture in the cookies, or chill longer for a softer, more uniform filling.
Make Ahead and Serving
Make the fluff a few hours ahead and keep it covered in the refrigerator. For individual portions, spoon it into cups before chilling and scatter the reserved cookie pieces on top when you’re ready to serve. Keep leftovers covered and refrigerated. The cookies will soften further as they sit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I prepare the pudding according to the box?
Whisk the dry instant pudding mix with 1 cup of cold milk as directed in the recipe card. This gives the fluff a thicker base.
Do I remove the crème filling from the cookies?
Crush the cookies whole. The crème blends into the vanilla base as you fold in the pieces.
Can I use chocolate pudding mix?
Yes. Use a 3.4-ounce box of instant chocolate pudding for a deeper chocolate flavor and a darker base.
