Ingredients
Scale
- 25 Oreo cookies
- 15¼ oz (433 g) chocolate cake mix
- 14 oz (397 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 8 oz (227 g) whipped topping (cool whip), not frozen
- ½ cup (113 g) sweet salted butter, sliced
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 350°F and thoroughly spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Base Layer: Arrange whole Oreo cookies in a uniform, compact layer covering the entire bottom of the pan, creating a crisp foundation.
- Moisture Infusion: Evenly pour sweetened condensed milk over the Oreo base, allowing it to penetrate and enhance the cake’s richness and moisture.
- Creamy Elevation: Spread whipped topping uniformly across the condensed milk layer, establishing a smooth and velvety intermediate component.
- Dry Coating: Completely blanket the whipped topping with an even layer of dry chocolate cake mix, ensuring total coverage for optimal texture and flavor.
- Butter Dispersion: Strategically dot the surface with butter pats, promoting even melting and creating a decadent, golden-brown finish.
- Decorative Topping: Roughly chop additional Oreo cookies and sprinkle them across the cake, adding textural complexity and visual interest.
- Baking Process: Place the assembled dessert in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until the top transforms into a golden, bubbling surface.
- Serving Suggestion: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an indulgent experience.
Notes
- Prevent Cookie Sogginess: Arrange Oreo cookies in a single, tight layer to maintain their crunch and prevent moisture absorption.
- Butter Distribution Trick: Cut cold butter into small, uniform pieces to ensure even melting and consistent flavor throughout the cake.
- Moisture Management: Condensed milk acts as a binding agent, creating a rich, gooey texture that keeps the cake ultra-moist and decadent.
- Topping Transformation: Chopped Oreos sprinkled on top create a delightful crunch and add a visually appealing, rustic finish to the dessert.
