Ingredients
This Oreo Tiramisu uses simple, high-quality ingredients that come together to create a rich and creamy layered dessert.
- Regular Oreo Cookies: Used for structure and chocolate flavor base (do not use Double Stuff).
- Cold Heavy Whipping Cream: Whips into a light, airy texture.

- Brewed Espresso or Strong Coffee: Adds wonderful coffee flavor.
- Coffee Liqueur (Optional): Adds complexity and warmth.
- Crushed Oreos & Cocoa Powder: For a wonderful presentation.
See the recipe card below for the exact quantities of each ingredient.
Variations
- Swap Liqueur: Use hazelnut or chocolate liqueur instead of coffee liqueur.
- Another Layer: Add caramel drizzle or chocolate chips between layers.
- Add Chocolate Flavor: Add cocoa powder directly into the cream mixture to taste.
- Different Topping: Add a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate syrup instead of cocoa powder. Instead of Oreo cookies use crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans or chocolate curls.
- Swap Oreos: Try a different Oreo flavor for variety.
- Swap Mascarpone: Use cream cheese with 2-4 tblsp heavy cream blended until smooth creating a slightly tangier and less traditional dish.
Instructions
This layered dessert comes together in four simple stages: whip, dip, layer, and chill. It's beginner-friendly and nearly foolproof.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until medium-stiff peaks form. Add mascarpone and mix on low until just combined and smooth.
Combine espresso and coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow bowl. Briefly dip each Oreo into the coffee mixture, about 1 second per side.
Arrange a single layer of dipped Oreos in an 8x8-inch baking dish (about 16 cookies). Spread half the cream mixture over the cookies and smooth the top.
Repeat with another layer of dipped Oreos and the remaining cream.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, overnight, until set.
Before serving, top with a light dusting of cocoa powder.
Add crushed Oreos, if desired. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Recipe Tips
- Keep mascarpone and cream cold until mixing.
- Dip cookies briefly to avoid soggy layers.
- Use strong brewed espresso for bold, richer flavor.
- Use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
- Do not use Double Stuff Oreos as the extra filling prevents the dessert from setting properly.
- Always use cold mascarpone for smooth blending.
- Cover tightly while chilling to avoid drying out.
- Chill overnight for best flavor.
- Serve slightly frozen for firm slices.
- Store covered in refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze tightly covered for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Prepare 12-24 hours before serving for best flavor.
