This creamy Oreo dip (aka cookies-and-cream cheesecake dip) is my go-to no-bake party dessert when I want something guaranteed to disappear. It's thick, scoopable, packed with chunky Oreo pieces, and comes together in 10 minutes with 5 simple ingredients--using either homemade whipped cream or Cool Whip (no pudding mix).

Serve this Oreo dip slightly chilled so it stays thick and scoopable. I love it with strawberries, pretzels, and graham crackers--basically anything that can handle a generous dunk. For parties, I'll sprinkle extra Oreo chunks on top right before serving so it looks (and tastes) extra cookies-and-cream.

⭐️ Why This Oreo Dip is the Best
- Tastes like cookies-and-cream cheesecake filling: tangy cream cheese + vanilla + a pinch of salt + Oreo cookies.
- 5 ingredients, 10 minutes, no baking - perfect for last-minute parties and potlucks.
- Thick and scoopable (no pudding): it holds up for dipping fruit, pretzels, and cookies without getting runny.
🍪 Ingredient Notes
- Heavy cream or Cool Whip - Make homemade whipped cream using heavy cream or just use store-bought Cool Whip - whichever you prefer!
- Cream cheese - Make sure it's softened to avoid a lumpy texture. You can use low-fat cream cheese if you like, but the taste will be slightly different.
- Salt - Just a pinch of salt is all you need to balance out the sweetness.
- Oreo cookies - You want larger chunks of cookie pieces, as opposed to fine crumbs used to make cookie pie crusts. I recommend placing your Oreos in a resealable plastic bag, and then use a rolling pin to give it a couple of good whacks. Use Oreos to make oreo spider cookies during spooky season!
📝 Variations & Substitutions
- Dairy-free dip: Substitute with coconut whipped topping and dairy-free cream cheese (Oreos are naturally vegan) for a dairy-free/vegan version.
- Use flavored Oreos. Change it up with flavors like peanut butter Oreos, mint Oreos, etc.
- Gluten-free dip: Substitute gluten-free Oreos for a gluten-free version.
🥄 How to Make Oreo Dip
If making homemade whipped cream, beat the whipping cream using an electric hand mixer until still peaks form. If using Cool Whip, go to next step.
In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the homemade whipped cream or Cool Whip. Fold in the crushed Oreos, reserving 2-3 tablespoons for garnish.
Transfer to a large serving bowl, and sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos on top (if serving immediately). Serve with fresh fruit, pretzels, cookies, or more Oreos, or store in the fridge until ready to serve, then garnish with remaining Oreos.
👩🏼🍳 Expert Tips for the Perfect Oreo Cookie Dip
- Make-ahead + storage: cover and chill up to 2 days. Stir before serving; if it's too thick, loosen it with 1-2 teaspoons of milk/cream. Add fresh Oreo garnish right before serving.
- If using heavy cream, whip to stiff peaks so the dip stays thick and scoopable.
- Beat the cream cheese mixture until completely smooth before adding whipped cream/Cool Whip (this prevents lumps).
- Keep Oreos "chunky," not fine crumbs - the texture is key!
- Fold (don't beat) after the whipped cream/Cool Whip goes in to keep it light and airy.

- In a large bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt.

Notes
-
- Storage: This dessert dip is best on the day it's made, but you can cover and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. However, the Oreo cookies will soften in the fridge, so I recommend crushing a few more Oreos to mix in before serving again. I don't recommend freezing it.
-
- Keep it chunky. When crushing the Oreos, you don't want fine cookie crumbs, but rather bigger pieces for more texture. I recommend using a resealable plastic bag & rolling pin.
-
- Room-temperature cream cheese. Take the time to soften your cream cheese (leave it on the counter overnight or remove it from the foil wrapping and place it in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, until softened) to avoid lumps.
-
- Fold gently. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold in the whipped cream/topping as well as the Oreo cookies. This will keep the dip as light and airy as possible.
