Ingredients
Cake Layer:
- 1 pound cake (or angel food cake), cut into 1–2 inch cubes (about 8–10 cups)
Cookie Layer:
- 1 package (about 20–25) Oreo cookies, roughly chopped or broken
Cheesecake Layer:
- 1 tub (8 oz) Philadelphia No-Bake Cheesecake Filling (or 8 oz cream cheese + ½ cup powdered sugar + 1 tsp vanilla)
- 1 tub (8 oz) Cool Whip (thawed), or homemade whipped cream
Toppings:
- Extra Oreo cookies (whole and crushed)
- Caramel sauce (for drizzling)
- Optional: mini chocolate chips, extra whipped cream
Equipment Needed
- 9×13-inch baking dish or large casserole dish
- Mixing bowls
- Spatula or offset spatula
- Sharp knife for slicing
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Build the Cake Base Place the cubed pound cake evenly in the bottom of your 9×13 dish. The pieces should be snug but not overly packed so there’s room for the filling to seep in.
Step 2: Add the Oreo Magic Generously sprinkle the broken Oreo cookies over the cake cubes. The cookies add crunch and that classic cookies-and-cream flavor that makes this dessert addictive.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling In a bowl, stir the Philadelphia No-Bake Cheesecake Filling until smooth. Fold in half of the Cool Whip for extra lightness and volume. The mixture should be creamy and easy to spread.
Step 4: Layer the Cream Pour and spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the cake and Oreos. Use a spatula to gently press it down so it fills the gaps between the cubes.
Step 5: Final Toppings Spread the remaining Cool Whip on top for a smooth, cloud-like finish. Arrange whole Oreo halves decoratively on the surface. Drizzle generously with caramel sauce and finish with Oreo crumbs for texture and beauty.
Step 6: Chill Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best). This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set into perfect sliceable layers.
Expert Tips for Success
- Use day-old pound cake if possible — it holds up better without getting soggy.
- Let Cool Whip thaw completely in the fridge for the smoothest texture.
- Don’t skip the caramel drizzle — it balances the sweetness beautifully.
- For cleaner slices, run your knife under hot water before cutting.
