Ingredients
Cookies
- 24 ounce package Oreo cookies (divided)
Layers
- 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounce tub frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- 15.25 ounce box chocolate fudge cake mix
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks, melted)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer Oreos: Open the 24-ounce package of Oreos and arrange whole cookies in a single layer across the bottom of the baking dish, filling the surface edge to edge.
- Add sweetened condensed milk: Pour the entire 14-ounce can of sweetened condensed milk in slow ribbons over the Oreo layer, ensuring the cookies are evenly covered.
- Spread whipped topping: Spoon the thawed 8-ounce tub of whipped topping over the condensed milk layer, gently spreading into an even layer without mixing the layers together.
- Sprinkle cake mix: Evenly sprinkle the 15.25-ounce box of chocolate fudge cake mix across the whipped topping layer. Gently rake with a fork to distribute evenly, but do not stir.
- Pour melted butter: Slowly drizzle 1 cup melted unsalted butter over the entire cake mix layer, moving back and forth to cover as much dry surface as possible. Add a little extra butter on any dry spots to ensure even baking and absorption.
- Add chopped Oreos: Roughly chop some of the remaining Oreos and scatter them evenly over the buttered cake mix layer for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes until the top is set and lightly crisp, and the edges are bubbly.
- Cool slightly: Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes to let the layers firm up slightly for easier serving.
- Serve: Scoop or slice into portions. Serve warm with ice cream or fresh whipped cream and garnish with additional chopped Oreo cookies. Enjoy!
