Ingredients
-
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (regular or double-stuffed)
-
2 cups heavy whipping cream
-
1/2 cup powdered sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1 cup salted caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
-
Flaky sea salt, for garnish
-
Optional: crushed Oreos or caramel drizzle for topping
Instructions
-
Make the whipped cream:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer or stand mixer until stiff peaks form. -
Layer the dessert:
Spread a thin layer of whipped cream on the bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish. Add a single layer of Oreo cookies on top. You may need to break some to fit. -
Add caramel and cream:
Drizzle a few spoonfuls of caramel sauce over the cookies, then spread a generous layer of whipped cream on top. -
Repeat layers:
Continue layering cookies, caramel, and whipped cream until you’ve used all the ingredients, ending with a final layer of whipped cream. -
Top and chill:
Drizzle more caramel over the top and sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Add crushed Oreos or a caramel swirl if desired. -
Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (or overnight) to let the cookies soften and the layers set.
-
Serve cold and enjoy each creamy, caramel-filled bite!
Notes
-
For extra richness, fold 4 oz of softened cream cheese into the whipped cream.
-
Use golden Oreos or a mix of flavors for a fun twist.
-
Make it in a loaf pan for a sliceable, layered presentation.
