No Bake Oreo Cream Squares

Today is our last day in Wisconsin.  Our flight leaves tomorrow at 5:45 am.  It is going to be an early morning, and a very long day!  We have had a great week here though.  Spending time with family, seeing friends from when we lived in Iowa, and getting to meet a few ladies from a fitness group I have been a part of for over a year.  I am ready to get back home, sleep in my bed, and see my husband though!  Ten more days, and school starts in Colorado too.  Man, did summer just fly by!

In case you haven’t noticed, this summer I have been all about the no bake dessert.  I think I only shared 1 cookie recipe and that was way back at the beginning of June.  Since then all of the recipes have been no bake, grilling, drinks, or something else that doesn’t involved the oven.  It has been so nice to not heat up my house every day.  I think my husband is shocked that I have avoided baking as long as I have.  I must say, I am kind of going through withdrawal, and really want to make some brownies!  Hopefully the weather will start to cool down, and I can do that soon.  Because 90+ outside means the oven does not go on inside!

So these Oreo cream squares are so easy to make.  Just a few minutes of work, and you have one impressive dessert.  My husband took this one to work, and it was gone in a day.  Considering how few people he is working with right now, that is darn impressive.  The squares start with an Oreo crust, are then topped with a sweetened cream cheese mixture.  Cookies n’ Cream pudding is then mixed up and spread over the top as well as a layer of homemade whipped cream.  The original recipe for this no bake dessert called for a layer of chocolate pudding.  I am sure that would be wonderful as well, but I wanted to up the Oreo factor, so I modified it.  You can use whatever your favorite pudding is, and trust me, it will still be creamy and delicious!
