Introduction

This Oreo Dump Cake is a wonderfully simple and indulgent dessert that combines crunchy Oreos, rich chocolate pudding, and moist chocolate cake mix. With just a few ingredients and minimal prep, it’s perfect for satisfying your chocolate cravings without any fuss.

Ingredients

• 24 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
• 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
• 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
• Extra Oreo cookies for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Step 2: Spread the chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour the pudding evenly over the Oreos.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, making sure to cover as much of the surface as possible.
5. Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
6. Step 6: Top with whipped topping, mini chocolate chips, and extra Oreo cookies if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

• For an extra crunch, use different flavored Oreos or add chopped nuts on top before baking.
• Try swapping the chocolate cake mix for a devil’s food or fudge variety for a deeper chocolate flavor.
• If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the amount of whipped topping or use a light version.
• Add a pinch of espresso powder to the pudding mix to enhance the chocolate taste.

Storage

Store leftover Oreo Dump Cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for about 20 seconds or enjoy it cold as a chilled treat. For best texture, add fresh whipped topping after reheating.

FAQs

Can I use regular milk instead of cold milk for the pudding?

Yes, regular milk works fine. Using cold milk helps the pudding set properly, but you can use room temperature milk if needed; just ensure to whisk well until thickened.

Is it necessary to chop the Oreos before layering?

Chopping the Oreos allows them to spread evenly and blend better with the other layers. Whole Oreos can work but may create uneven texture in the cake.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
2. Prepare Base Layer: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating the foundation for the dessert.
3. Make Pudding Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Pour this pudding layer evenly over the Oreo cookie base.
4. Add Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the cake mix, making sure the butter covers as much of the surface as possible to moisten the cake mix while baking.
5. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp. Once done, remove from oven and allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes.
6. Add Toppings and Serve: After cooling, spread the whipped topping over the cake surface. Optionally sprinkle mini chocolate chips and extra Oreo cookies on top for added texture and flavor. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best taste experience.
