Get ready for a cookies and cream explosion in your mouth. This Oreo Poke Cake is a game-changer, and it’s ridiculously easy to make. Imagine a rich, moist chocolate cake, drizzled with a cookies and cream pudding mixture, topped with a fluffy whipped cream, and finished with crushed Oreo cookies. Yes, please!

First, preheat your oven to 350°F. While that’s heating up, prepare your cake mix according to the package instructions. Pour the batter into a 9×13 inch pan and bake for 32-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.

Now it’s time for the fun part. Using a skewer or fork, poke holes all over the top of the cake. Don’t be shy – you want to make sure that pudding mixture gets all the way to the bottom of the cake.

In a large bowl, mix together the Oreo cookies and cream instant pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until the pudding is smooth and creamy. Remove 1/2 cup of the pudding mixture and set it aside for later.

Pour the remaining pudding mixture over the top of the cake, making sure to get it into all the holes you poked earlier. Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to soak in.

While the cake is chilling, it’s time to make the whipped cream. In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Fold in the 1/2 cup of pudding mixture you set aside earlier.

Spread the whipped cream over the top of the cake. You can be as fancy or as simple as you like with this step – just make sure to cover the whole cake.

Finally, sprinkle crushed Oreo cookies over the top of the whipped cream. You can use as many or as few as you like – we won’t judge.

This cake is perfect for any occasion – or no occasion at all. It’s a great make-ahead dessert, and it’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So go ahead, indulge in a slice (or two, or three…), and enjoy the ooey-gooey cookies and cream goodness.

And don’t worry if you’re not a fan of Oreos – this cake is still delicious without them. But let’s be real, who doesn’t love Oreos?

This cake is a natural make-ahead dessert, as it needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. But don’t worry, it’s worth the wait. And if you’re feeling extra fancy, you can even make the whipped cream topping ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to serve.

So go ahead, give this Oreo Poke Cake a try. Your taste buds will thank you.
