Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 squares
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
Instructions
- Place the entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine, uniform crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Pour the melted butter into the Oreo crumbs and mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand and can hold its shape when pressed.
- Take a 9x9 inch baking pan and line it completely with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- Press the Oreo and butter mixture firmly into the bottom of the lined pan, creating an even, compact base layer. Use the back of a spoon or flat measuring cup to ensure a smooth surface.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy, using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
- Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until completely combined, creating a light and fluffy filling.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo cookie crust, ensuring a smooth and level top.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the squares to set completely.
- Once set, use the parchment paper edges to lift the entire dessert out of the pan and transfer to a cutting board.
- Using a sharp knife, cut into 16 equal squares, cleaning the knife between cuts for neat edges.
- Serve chilled and store any remaining squares in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Crumb Consistency is Key: Ensure your Oreo crumbs are finely ground for the perfect crust texture. A food processor works best, but a rolling pin can work in a pinch.
- Chill for Success: Patience is crucial! Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the squares to set perfectly and develop maximum flavor.
- Cream Cheese Technique: Beat the cream cheese until it's completely smooth to avoid any lumps in your filling.
- Clean Cut Presentation: Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts for perfectly clean, Instagram-worthy square edges.
- Storage Hack: These squares can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days – if they last that long!
- Variation Tip: Feel free to experiment with different Oreo flavors or add a drizzle of chocolate on top for extra decadence.
