Ingredients
Base
- 25 Oreo cookies
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Toppings
- 8 ounces whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed but not frozen
- 15¼ ounces chocolate cake mix (dry)
- ½ cup sweet salted butter, sliced
- 8 Oreo cookies, chopped (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the dessert.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Layer Oreos: Arrange the 25 Oreo cookies in a single layer evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Pour the can of sweetened condensed milk evenly over the oreo layer, ensuring full coverage.
- Spread Whipped Topping: Gently spread the whipped topping over the cookie mixture in an even layer.
- Sprinkle Cake Mix: Evenly sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix over the whipped topping layer.
- Add Butter: Arrange the sliced butter pieces evenly on top of the cake mix to create rich, buttery pockets as it bakes.
- Top with Chopped Oreos: Chop 8 Oreos into bits and sprinkle over the top of the butter and cake mix layer for added texture and flavor.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Serve the dump cake warm, garnished with ice cream and chocolate sauce if desired.
Notes
- Do not stir the layers before baking; the magic is in the layering.
- Use salted butter as it balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
- For best texture, do not use frozen whipped topping—thawed is ideal.
- Feel free to top with vanilla ice cream or drizzle chocolate syrup for extra indulgence.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving to allow it to set but still be warm.
