No Bake Golden Oreo Layered Dessert

Our Golden Oreo Dessert is easy to make using only Golden Oreos and homemade whipped cream (you can save time with a store-bought Cool Whip shortcut).

This Golden Oreo lush dessert is nothing more than a few light and fluffy layers sandwiched between Oreo cookies; so simple yet so delicious.

As the refrigerator cake chills, the cookies soak up the moisture from the cream, and the layers merge into a soft, tender cake-like texture – it’s the ultimate summer slice for easy entertaining.

What I love most about a layered golden Oreo dessert recipe is that it tastes refreshingly cool and not too heavy when warm weather calls for something light; why heat your house when it’s already hot outside?

  • Quick and easy to make in 5 minutes (plus additional chill time).

How to Make Golden Oreo Dessert

  1. Create The Whipped Cream: Beat the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form.
    Pro Tip: Start on low speed, then gradually increase the speed to keep the heavy cream from splattering.
  2. Assemble: Place an even layer of Oreos on the bottom of the baking dish. Spread whipped cream over the cookies, add another layer of cookies over the whipped cream, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with crushed cookies.
  3. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, but up to overnight for best results.
  4. Slice And Serve: Enjoy!

Tips For Making Golden Oreo Dessert

  • This golden Oreo dessert should be served chilled for the best results.
  • If you want nice clean cuts, place your dish in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to firm up before slicing. Do not freeze for long periods.
  • Any brand of golden or vanilla cream cookies will work in this recipe. You could even use the golden Oreo cookie thins and add a third layer of cookies.
  • When spreading the whipped cream, be sure to push some of the mixture in between the cookies.
  • Crush your Oreo cookies in a large zip-top bag until they are slightly chunky cookie crumbs.

How to Store Golden Oreo Dessert

  • To Store: Store this dessert in the refrigerator, lightly covered with plastic wrap, for up to 3 days.
  • To Freeze: I do not recommend freezing this dessert for long-term storage as the heavy cream will break down when thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should I chill my dessert?

The cookies will stay semi-firm if you only do 8-hour refrigeration. I prefer overnight refrigeration to allow the cookies time to soften more. If you like your cookies to be very soft, you can quickly dunk each cookie in milk before placing them in their layers. If you do this, you may not need the overnight chill to achieve a dessert ready to serve.

Can I use a store-bought frozen whipped topping instead of homemade whipped cream?

You can substitute store-bought extra creamy whipped topping (Cool Whip) that has been thawed for a shortcut version of the homemade mixture. Simply swap out the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract and use the Cool Whip instead. You may need 12-16 ounces of the thawed whipped topping to get nice layers.

Golden Oreo Dessert

Serves — 9
Golden Oreo Dessert is made with Oreo cookies and homemade whipped cream, it's a cool sweet treat for summer.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Chill Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 5 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream very cold
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 38 golden Oreo cookies divided into 16, 16, and 6 cookies

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract for 2-3 minutes until stiff peaks form. You will want to start on low speed, then gradually increase the speed on the mixer until you are on high speed. This will help to keep the heavy cream from splattering out of the bowl when being beaten.
  • Place 16 of the golden Oreo cookies in an even layer on the bottom of a square 8×8-inch baking dish.
  • Using an offset spatula, spread half of the whipped cream over the first layer of golden Oreo cookies in an even layer. Be sure to try to push some of the whipped cream in between the cookies.
  • Add another 16 golden Oreo cookies in an even layer over the whipped cream.
  • Top the second layer of cookies with the remaining half of the whipped cream. Spread the whipped cream topping evenly over the cookies.
  • In a large zip-top bag, add the remaining 6 golden Oreo cookies and crush them until they are slightly chunky cookie crumbs.
  • Sprinkle the crushed cookies evenly over the top layer of whipped cream.
  • Refrigerate the golden Oreo cookie dessert for at least 8 hours, but up to overnight for best results.
