How to Make Oreo Dump Cake
Ingredients:
- 32 chocolate sandwich cookies with white filling (e.g., Oreos)
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 8 ounces frozen whipped dessert topping (thawed)
- 1 package devil’s food or chocolate fudge cake mix (standard 2-layer size)
- ¾ cup cold salted butter (sliced into 24 even pats)
Directions:
Prepare the Baking Dish: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
Create the Cookie Base: Take the Oreos and crush them into small pieces. Spread these crushed cookies evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Add Condensed Milk and Whipped Topping: Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the crushed Oreos, making sure to cover them well. Then, dollop the thawed whipped topping on top of the milk and spread it evenly.
Incorporate the Cake Mix and Crushed Cookies: Sprinkle the entire package of cake mix on top of the whipped topping layer. Do not stir!
Top with Butter: Place the sliced pats of cold salted butter evenly on top of the cake mix.
Bake the Cake: Put the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the cake is set.
Serve: Once baked, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
How to Serve Oreo Dump Cake
Serve the Oreo Dump Cake warm or at room temperature. Scoop it onto plates and enjoy it as it is, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an even sweeter treat!
How to Store Oreo Dump Cake
If you have any leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The cake will stay good for about 3 to 5 days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze it. Just make sure to wrap it well to prevent freezer burn.
Tips to Make Oreo Dump Cake
- For extra flavor, try adding chocolate chips or nuts on top before baking.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, use less condensed milk or whipped topping.
- Make sure the butter is cold and sliced; this helps it melt and create a perfect topping while baking.
