ingredients
(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
25 Oreo cookies
-
14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
-
8-ounce whipped topping (thawed)
-
15¼-ounce chocolate cake mix
-
½ cup salted butter, sliced
directions
-
I preheat my oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
I arrange the whole Oreo cookies in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared pan.
-
I pour the sweetened condensed milk evenly over the cookies, making sure every cookie gets coated.
-
I spoon the thawed whipped topping over the milk-soaked cookies and spread it into an even layer.
-
I sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the whipped topping, covering it completely.
-
I lay the sliced pats of butter evenly on top of the cake mix so they melt into the batter as it bakes.
-
I bake the dish for 35–40 minutes, until the top is golden and the cake mix is set.
-
I let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing, then serve it warm—ice cream and hot fudge optional, but highly recommended.
Variations
-
Different Oreo flavors: I sometimes swap in vanilla or mint Oreos for a fun twist.
-
Cake mix options: I’ve tried devil’s food, red velvet, and even funfetti—each gives a new flavor profile.
-
Add-ins: I sprinkle chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips on top before baking for extra texture.
-
Alcohol infusion: I drizzle a tablespoon of bourbon or coffee liqueur over the cookies before adding the condensed milk for grown-up flair.

storage/reheating
I store leftovers, covered, in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, I pop individual slices in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm them in a 325 °F oven for 5–7 minutes—just enough to bring back that gooey warmth.
FAQs
Can I make this ahead of time?
I’ve prepped up to 3 hours in advance—covered and kept in the fridge—and it holds up well. I let it come to room temperature for 15 minutes before baking to avoid sogginess.
What if the top sticks to the pan?
I always spray the dish well, but if pieces stick, I run a thin spatula around the edges as soon as it’s cool enough to handle and the slices come out cleanly.
Will the whipped topping deflate when baked?
I’ve found that the whipped topping puffs up around the edges, then settles into a creamy layer under the cake mix—no worries about collapse.
Can I use light or sugar-free ingredients?
I have used light whipped topping and sugar-free sweetened condensed milk. The texture is slightly thinner, but it still bakes up deliciously.
How do I get clean slices?
I let the cake rest 5–10 minutes after baking, then wipe my knife blade between cuts. That keeps the layers distinct and the slices neat.
Conclusion
I never tire of how simple ingredients—Oreos, cake mix, and a few pantry staples—transform into a show-stopping dessert with zero fussy steps. Whether I’m feeding family or guests, this Oreo Dump Cake always disappears in record time!
