Two Ingredient Oreo Dessert

I'm going to start with a disclaimer: yes, it is technically 2 ingredients BUT I usually make it 4. 

Don't come after me for the extra ingredients on the list - you don't HAVE to add them. It will just be a smidge better if you do. 

Now that is out of the way - looking for the easiest dessert in the history of the world? This one is top of the list. I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't love it. (Except for those who don't like Oreos but...really...they're already wrong so what are you gonna do?)

You just need a few minutes to put this together and then it needs to sit for a couple of hours - up to overnight. Easy peasy. 

Two Ingredient Oreo Dessert

Ingredients

1 bag of Oreo Thins (or regular Oreos will also work)

1 container of Cool Whip (or ~3 cups whipped cream, whipped)

*Note - I use a little vanilla extract and sprinkle of sugar if I use whipped cream - thus the 4 ingredients*

Directions

Place a little line of Cool Whip (or whipped cream) down on the tray (Like THIS ONE) you intend to serve the dessert on. This will be what holds the cookies up but does not need to be thick. 

Take one Oreo and spread about a tsp of Cool Whip (or whipped cream) on top. Squish another Oreo on it. Continue until you have a stack of about 5 cookies. Place the cookies onto the prepared tray. 

Continue with all of the cookies. I make two lines of cookies (see photo below)

You can also layer these up in stacks of 3 or 4 cookies in individual jars for an alternative way to serve. 

When all the cookies are used up, spread the remaining Cool Whip (or whipped cream) over the top and sides of the cookie logs. 

Sprinkle any crumbs from the package on top (or keep one cookie and crumble it up).

*Boom* Done. 

Cover and put in the fridge for a couple of hours, up to overnight, so the cookies can soften.

When ready to eat, simply slice on a slight angle and serve. FYI - you CAN cut it straight across you just won't get the pretty cross section of the cookies like you see here. 

The Oreos soften and it's like cutting cake. 

Want to get fancy? Drizzle with a little chocolate sauce. 

I use the Oreo thins because they soften quicker and this is often my last-minute go to dessert so I don't have time to let it sit as long as it should. Regular Oreos will work fine, as will almost any type of sandwich cookies. See our Maple Cookie version HERE.  

Add cocoa powder to the Cool Whip/whipped cream for a more chocolatey version. Use a flavored sandwich cookie for even more options.
