What is Oreo Dip?
Who doesn’t love dunking Oreos in milk? I mean, it’s basically an American pastime! What if I told you this oreo cookie dip tastes just like Oreos and milk?
Ingredients You’ll Need
- Cream Cheese: Cream cheese provides a rich texture and tangy flavor. Use Greek yogurt as a lighter option.
- Powdered Sugar: Sweeten the Oreo dip with powdered sugar.
- Vanilla Extract: Add vanilla extract for more flavor.
- Cool Whip: Cool Whip gives the dip a light and fluffy texture.
- Oreo Cookies: Finish the dip with crushed Oreos.
Additions and Substitutions
- Include chocolate chips, cocoa powder, or nut butter to give the dip a unique flavor.
- Replace regular Oreos with special edition Golden Oreos, Mint Oreos, or Peanut Butter Oreos.
- Finish the dip with whipped cream before adding more crushed Oreos.
- Stir in a small amount of heavy cream if you want the dip to be thinner.
How to Make Oreo Dip
The full recipe with measurements is in the recipe card below.
Step 1: Add softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to a large mixing bowl.Use a hand mixer to combine the ingredients using a medium speed.
Step 2: Fold in the whipped topping and Oreos into the cream cheese mixture using a low speed, reserving some of the crushed cookies for garnish.
Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and top it with the cookie crumbles.
Expert Tips
- Use room temperature cream cheese since cold cream cheese is difficult to blend.
- Don’t over-crush the Oreos into a powder. The trick is getting chunky bits of Oreos to enhance the overall texture and flavor of the dip. I usually put the Oreos in a silicone or plastic bag and break them up with a rolling pin.
Serving Suggestions
The dipping choices for this dessert are endless. The hardest part is choosing your favorite dippers, which is why I serve the Oreo dip on a platter or dessert board with a few different options.
Scoop the dip with animal crackers, pretzels and graham crackers, or use your favorite cookie like Teddy Grahams, Biscoff cookies, vanilla wafers, and even more Oreos. I also love using fresh fruit like apple slices, fresh strawberries, or thick slices of banana.
What to do with the Leftovers
- Refrigerate: Store the leftover dip in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
- Repurpose: Use the sweet dip as a filling for cannolis and cake or use it as a topping for an ice cream sundae.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the best way to crush Oreos?
One of the best ways to crush Oreos is to put them in a resealable plastic bag and break them down using a rolling pin or a heavy object like a mallet or a frying pan.
Another option is to use a food processor, but be sure to pulse the cookies rather than let them blend into a fine crumb.
Whatever method you choose, it’s best to stop before turning them into fine crumbs because the texture and crunch of the cookies make the Oreo dip even better.
Do you leave the filling in the cookies?
Yes, I leave the cookies as they are and break them into bits before including them in the creamy dip.
Can I make this recipe in advance?
If you need a party dip, prepare the recipe 1-2 days ahead. However, I recommend leaving the Oreos out until you are ready to serve since they will soften over time.
