16 Oreo Dessert Recipes for Cookies & Cream Fanatics

These Oreo dessert recipes are a breeze to make. No oven necessary—but milk is optional!

Of course, Oreos are good on their own (or dunked into a glass of cold milk), but there’s something special about Oreo dessert recipes. They take our favorite store-bought cookies and transform them into fantastic sweets to share.

What makes these Oreo recipes even better is that they’re all easy no-bake desserts. That’s right: You don’t need to preheat the oven for these. Instead, break open a bag and get to making these icebox cakes, no-bake cheesecakes and candies.
