Variations
- Homemade whipped topping. Instead of store bought whipped cream, you can use heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar to make homemade. Beat until stiff peaks form.
- Oreo Cookies. You can use double stuff or try other flavors. Golden Oreo, peanut butter, chocolate, lemon and more would be delicious.
- Topping. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top of the dessert for more chocolate flavor. Other ideas include, chopped nuts, caramel syrup and chocolate syrup.
- Double the recipe. We love to double the recipe and prepare this in a trifle dish. The layers are so pretty and makes an easy yet gorgeous dessert.
- Gluten free option. Just use gluten free Oreo cookies in this recipe if you need to make it gluten free. This is an easy substitute if you have dietary needs.
Recipe tips
- Chill at least 4 hours. This dessert is best served after it has been refrigerated at least 4 hours. We prefer overnight for best taste as this gives the cookies plenty of time to soak in the whipped cream.
- Freeze to get clean slices. Right before serving, put the dessert in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes and it will be nice and firm. This will make it super easy to cut into nice clean slices for serving.
- Make in advance. This dish is perfect to make in advance. I usually make it a day before I play to serve it. It tastes even better with the softened cookies layered together.
