If you take nothing away from this blog, I hope you’ll at least try this recipe. As a kid, this was my favorite thing for my Mom to make me. Special occasions like a 100 on a spelling test or making the “all A” honor roll were always celebrated with a batch of this Oreo delight. And that was a big deal. For my family, this was an expensive recipe! It ‘s funny though, when I look back, I don’t think I ever knew we didn’t have much money or that we were any different than any other family. My parents sacrificed, my dad working crazy long hours, for my mom to be able to stay at home with me when I was little. I look back at those days when Mom would let me play hooky from school and we would scrounge up change to get McDonald’s hamburgers as fun times, not sad ones. As an adult, I realize how much my parents did without so they could give me everything I wanted. It sounds crazy, but having a child of my own, makes me realize even more how much I love my parents and how much they love me. And this little recipe was one of my Mom’s many ways of saying “I Love You”! Y’all enjoy!

I love you my sweet son !!!!!
I was just wondering about the Oreo Delight recipe……..the only question I have is: Do you crush the cream that is inside of the oreo’s or take the cream out? Making this for church this weekend, and kind of need to know, also sounds yummy and easy!
I made the Pecan chewies in the paper this past week and they were delicious. I am so thankful you have this website, as I have already printed a lot of recipes off.
Keep up the good work and let me know about the Oreo’s please!
Thanks!
Cindy
Hi Cindy! Thanks for the kind words! Yes, you crush it all together. No need to remove the cream. It works really well to crush them in a food processor too. Right now, we’re planning on doing the column once a month on the first Saturday of the month. Please be sure to let the folks over at the Progress know you enjoyed it so they’ll keep it running! Many thanks! -Stacey
Thank you for letting me know about the Oreo’s!! I am going to make this Sat for church, think it is going to be a hit!
I have been posting some of my favorite easy recipes on my Face Book page and also posted your website, love it and think other busy mom’s will enjoy your delicious and best of all easy recipes!!
Keep the website going……….. I am spreading the word as fast as I can.
Thanks Bunches!
Cindy
Hopefully so! I know it absolutely one of my favorites! Thanks so much for spreading the word! You’re quickly becoming my new favorite person!
I could not remember what paper I found your article in, I just emailed the Montgomery Advertiser but after reading your email again, I must have gotten this recipe out of Prattville Progress, I will email them too! Gotta keep this site going!!
Bless your heart! Thanks! Since the Advertiser owns the Progress, I’m sure it will help. I appreciate you contacting the Progress too, though. You have no idea how much I appreciate all your hard work!
Made the Oreo Delight for church this past Sunday, and it was a HUGE success……….it was all gone!! And I admit I got a little bit of it and it was delicious!! Will be making the easy pecan recipe this weekend. Thank y’all so much for this wonderful easy site…….I am not a cook, but y’all sure make me look good!!
I will email the Progress, I had forgot, thanks for reminding me.
Going to check out new recipes, as I make them I post them on my FB page for friends to try, one friend just made the chicken casserole and rice and had nothing but raves about it.
Keep up the good work!
Hi Cindy! Thanks so much for the kind encouraging words! I GREATLY appreciate you spreading the word and sharing the recipes on your Facebook page. I’ve just made that a little easier, by adding a FB “Share” button at the bottom of each post. Again, many thanks!
Well, if this doesn’t look like a ‘OhMyStinkinHeck’ recipe! I’m sure that is what Jyl Nipper would say! Never heard of this, but will have to try it! Enjoyed the story that goes with it, too! Thanks, Stacey! You’ve done it again!
Ha! Debbie, you always leave me the nicest comments! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing and for the recipe!!! My husband LOVES Oreos. I will have my daughter make this for him on Father’s Day!!!!
It’s sooo yummy! And easy too! I hope y’all enjoy it!
I just made this and it is the best thing ever,, Thank you
Wonderful! I’m so glad you like it!!!
This sounds very similar to my Dirt Cake Recipe. Except I have a step in there of pd sugar and butter, Mixed with the cream cheese and all.
Stacey, I am wondering if you can substitute some fat-free ingredients such as fat-free Cool Whip, pudding, cream cheese, skim milk, and reduced-fat margerine? We are trying to cut back on calories at my house, but the recipe sounds wonderful!
Absolutely! We’ve been known for doing the “low-fat” version at our house quite often!
Pinned it. That looks absolutely incredible. (Your new design looks great – love the skillet icon buttons – very clever!)
Thanks, Shelley! I hope you enjoy it!
Can you make this the night before you need it? If you make it the same day you plan to eat it, how long does it need to chill in the fridge for? Thanks! Thinking of making this for dessert after the football game-dinner we are hosting tomorrow. Looks delicious.
ABSOLUTELY!!! I actually think it’s better the next day! It gives everything time to get happy together. It’s best if it chills at least 3 hours.
Awesome! Thanks for the reply! I just went to the grocery store and have all the ingredients and will make it tonight for tomorrow then. So excited to try it – yum! I know our guests will love it.
One last question: Do you serve it chilled straight out of the fridge or do you serve it room temp? I’m assuming chilled, so it doesn’t get too soft when you serve it? Thanks. Just made it and it’s chillin’ in the fridge!
Keep chilled and serve chilled. Otherwise it will just melt apart.
. Hope y’all enjoy it!! Please come back and let me know!
It was delicious!! Everyone loved it!
Thinking about making these in individual parfait glasses. I am wondering how many it would make? 12?
So much of it will depend on the size of your parfait glasses. I would guess you could get 12 out of this though.
I used to make this, or something simular to this a few years back. Lost the recipe so I’m so glad to see this one you posted. It’s also good to drizzle warm caramel on the top. SO GOOOD!!
Ooh, that does sounds good! My waistline thanks you!
What is Cool Whip? Give me an idea and maybe I can improvise? We don’t get it in New Zealand.
Cool Whip is a stabilized whipped topping reminiscent of fresh whipped cream. Only it’s thicker and won’t fall like whipped cream will.
Thanks for reply Stacey. We have plenty of cows here in New Zealand so cream not a problem. But we are going through a drought so prices may start going up.We do have a cream that comes in an spray can I think I’ll give that a go!
I make this, but use Triple Double Chocolate Oreo cookies in the crust.
After layering the cream cheese layer on top, I put it in the fridge to set up.
I use two 4.2 oz. bx. of Jell-O Oreo Cookies ‘n Crème instant pudding mixed with 3 c. milk and 1/2 c. Cool Whip, spread it on the cream cheese layer and put it in the fridge to set up.
So delicious!
I also make a crust of flour, chopped nuts and butter that’s baked and cooled, and use any flavor pudding….the flavors are almost endless!
Yum!
I made this dessert and was delicious. The only question I have : does anyone know how many calories for one serving?thanks
This recipe looks yummy. I wanna make it but I have one question. How many pieces are there in a pack of regular Oreo in America? I live in Thailand and a pack that we have here looks so tiny. I don’t think that it’s gonna be enough for 9×13 pan
Well, the answer is… it depends. Actually the number of cookies ranges between about 30 and 40 – depending on the size of the package and the particular kind of Oreo. Good luck!
Thank you. Have a good day
Is there something I can substitute in place of confectioner sugar? I’m a diabdtic.

The only thing that I know of is the powdered sugar that this company makes: http://www.swervesweetener.com/
