This luscious Oreo fluff is my answer to last minute party dessert stress. It comes together in under ten minutes with just five easy ingredients and each bite tastes like pure cookies and cream heaven.
The first time I made this was for a potluck where I was short on time and it completely disappeared within minutes. Now friends request I bring it every time.
Ingredients
- Cream cheese: I love using full fat for extra richness and let it warm up to room temperature so it blends smoothly
- Frozen whipped topping or thick yogurt: adds fluff and a creamy mouthfeel look for quality brands with simple ingredients
- Powdered sugar or your favorite powdered sweetener: to sweeten and create a light airy texture sift if clumpy
- Pure vanilla extract: enhances the cookie flavors use real extract for best results
- Oreo cookies or any chocolate cookie you like: for a classic cookies and cream flavor choose fresh cookies so they stay crisp in the fluff
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Soften the Cream Cheese:
- Let the cream cheese sit out until it is fully at room temperature. This is key to getting it totally smooth and prevents any lumps in the fluff
- Mix the Base:
- In your stand mixer food processor or a large bowl with hand beaters combine the cream cheese frozen whipped topping or yogurt and powdered sugar. Beat on medium until the texture is thick and completely smooth. Scrape down the sides once or twice to ensure even blending
- Add Vanilla:
- Pour in the pure vanilla extract and whip everything again just until incorporated so the vanilla is evenly mixed through
- Fold in the Cookies:
- Take your Oreo cookies and finely chop them. Using a spoon gently fold them into the whipped mixture. Make sure the cookie pieces are evenly distributed
- Chill and Serve:
- Transfer the finished Oreo fluff to your serving dish and chill at least one hour for best flavor and texture. Serve cold and enjoy

The Oreos are my favorite part because they add crunch and a nostalgic cookies and cream flavor. One birthday my niece and I decorated the top with extra cookies and it looked absolutely adorable.
Storage Tips
Store any leftovers covered tightly in the fridge for up to four days. For longer storage you can freeze it but the texture will be denser after thawing so give it a quick whip before serving.
