Cookies and Cream Breakaway ~ A 20 minute, 2 ingredient, sweet and simple dessert filled with Oreo goodness. Yes, another fast and easy dessert recipe that’s perfect for your holiday baking.
Oreos are a favorite in my home. I have to admit I’m not necessarily as big of a fan as Matt and the boys when it comes to eating them straight out of the bag. But when it comes to Oreos in baked goods, I can out eat them like how most birds can eat twice their weight.
Cookies and Cream Breakaway
I’m keeping with fast and easy, since my workload seems to be multiplying ten-fold lately. It’s so bad that-tsk, tsk; my interview with the third exiting chef-testant of Bravo’s Top Chef Just Dessert was just posted last week alongside the two who were cut in episode 4. Yikes! So for those of you that are following the show and the interviews (posted over at Endless Simmer), I promise that the this week’s interview will be posted by Friday-at the latest.
As you can see, I have a little problem with taking on more than I can manage at times. I’m sure all of you are much better at managing time than I am. That said, I’m also sure we can all find comfort in a sweet and simple dessert that is as easy to make as melt, mix, and chill.
A few notes:
- To shave off even more time use mini Oreos to bypass chopping regular size ones.
- If white chocolate doesn’t suit your taste, use any chocolate that does.
- You can leave the top bare but keep in mind it will look slightly grey from the mix of black Oreo crumbs against the white. To avoid the unappetizing grey tint either drizzle the top with chocolate or sprinkle finely crushed Oreos on top.
Cookies and Cream Breakaway
Preparation: Line an 8×8 pan with enough parchment or wax paper for a 1 inch overhang on each side.
Ingredients:
- 10oz. Ghirardelli white chocolate chips
- 15 regular size Oreos, plus 3 more for topping
Instructions:
- Place chocolate in a double boiler over low heat and stir continuously, until chocolate is completely melted. Transfer chocolate to a heat proof bowl and cool for 5 minutes. Add chopped Oreos and stir to combine. Pour mixture into pan. Use a spatula to smooth out top.
- Finely chop remaining Oreos and sprinkle on top. Chill for about 10 minutes until chocolate becomes solid.
- Lift whole bark out of pan by holding onto parchment or wax overhang. Split bark into pieces with a fork.
Oooh dear, this will not help with our little baking with Oreos obsession…especially as we don’t have to bake a thing to enjoy this divine looking stuff..!
I’m loving the fast easy, keep’m coming!
I’m not a straight-out-of-the-oreo-bag girl either. But put them in a dessert. How can I say no?!

Love the quick and easy posts! Sometimes it’s what we need to get us through (and not one of my guests would ever be able to spot that it was quick!).
I haven’t been watching Just Desserts but now I feel like I’m missing out!!

This is bad,very bad. I will probably make this and eat it all by myself in one sitting.
Gosh, Naomi, I’m falling in love with you, or at least with your fast&easy recipes.
These barks look and I will try each and everyone of them as soon as possible, hoping they’ll turn out at least half as gorgeous as yours. Keep doing these, please!
Yammy oreos are my favourite as well..
any orea desert is welcome in my home..

Those photos are lovely, and almost moody (in a very good way). I love cookies and cream – I know these would be a hit around here.
