These Oreo dessert recipes are a breeze to make. No oven necessary—but milk is optional!
Of course, Oreos are good on their own (or dunked into a glass of cold milk), but there’s something special about Oreo dessert recipes. They take our favorite store-bought cookies and transform them into fantastic sweets to share.
What makes these Oreo dessert recipes even better is that they’re all no-bake. That’s right: You don’t need to preheat the oven for these. Instead, break open a bag and get to making these icebox cakes, no-bake cheesecakes and candies.

Chocolate Rum Balls
Roll these truffle-like rum balls in crushed Oreos to get just the right amount of crunch. They can be made a few days in advance and even stashed in the freezer. And don’t skip the coffee granules in this treat. Coffee and espresso really do bring out the flavor of chocolate.
