Easy Oreo Fluff No-Bake Dessert

Ingredients

• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 3.4 oz instant cheesecake pudding mix (unprepared; one package)
• 3 cup heavy whipping cream (divided; use 1 1/2 cups in the cheesecake mixture and 1 1/2 cups to whip)
• 0.25 cup powdered sugar
• 2 cup miniature marshmallows (some reserved for garnish)
• 14.3 oz Oreo cookies (one package; reserve a few whole cookies for garnish and crush the rest)

Steps

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract until fluffy.

2. 2

   Add the unprepared cheesecake pudding mix and beat until fully combined. The mixture will be chunky.

3. 3

   With a mixer or hand beater running on low, slowly drizzle in 1 1/2 cups of the heavy whipping cream, adding only about 1 tablespoon at a time and beating well between additions.

4. 4

   Add the powdered sugar to the cheesecake mixture and beat until fully combined.

5. 5

   In a separate mixing bowl, beat the remaining 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.

6. 6

   Use a spatula to gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated.

7. 7

   Place most of the Oreo cookies in a large zip-top bag, reserving a few whole cookies for garnish.

8. 8

   Crush the cookies in the bag with a rolling pin, leaving a mixture of larger chunks and smaller crumbs.

9. 9

   Add the miniature marshmallows and crushed Oreos to the cheesecake mixture, then stir gently to combine.

10. 10

    Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Garnish with the reserved whole Oreos and some miniature marshmallows, then serve immediately.

Notes

For make-ahead preparation, stir in the marshmallows and crushed Oreos right before serving so they do not soften. Best served the same day; it can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days, though the cookies and marshmallows soften over time. Chilling the mixing bowl briefly before whipping the cream can help it hold its peaks. The source's ingredient list says 2 cups marshmallows, while the method also uses marshmallows for garnish without specifying an additional amount.
