While the texture is light and fluffy, the flavor is rich and decadent. This means a little serving is all you need. Make Oreo Fluff on a hot day, and take it to your next summer pitch-in. It will serve a crowd.

My favorite thing about Oreo Cookie Salad is that it’s overly forgiving, almost fail-proof.

• Only have one tub of Cool Whip, no big deal.
• Did someone sneak into the cookies and eat a few, no problem.

• Did you leave the butter out of the recipe? It’s still going to be delicious.

I think you get the point. Nowadays, there’s so many different flavors of Oreo cookies that the sky is the limit for this Oreo Salad with vanilla pudding recipe.

Recipe FAQs

• Be sure that the cream cheese and butter are room temperature; this helps prevent lumps.
• For a lighter version of Oreo Cookie Salad, use Fat Free Cool Whip, Sugar Free Vanilla Pudding and skim milk.
• I love Dirt Pudding, but this easy no bake dessert is a tie with my family when it comes to deliciousness.
• To easily crush up the cookies, try pulsing in a food processor.
• Cookies and Cream salad can be made the night before to save time.
• I recommend doubling the recipe for family get-togethers!

How long is oreo fluff good for?

If stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it is good for 3 to 5 days.

Why is my oreo fluff runny?

If your Oreo fluff dessert is runny, it is most likely that the pudding mix did not set up correctly. It is best to mix the pudding mix and cold milk first to let it set up before adding the remaining ingredients. On a side note, if your Oreo Fluff leftovers are runny when they weren’t originally, then someone most likely double dipped. The bacteria in saliva can break down ingredients over time.
