Ingredients You’ll Need
Oreo Snack Packs – These are the perfect size for this recipe and act as both the popsicle mold and the cookie mix-in. Just give them a good crush before opening.
Heavy Cream – Adds richness and that classic creamy texture you want in a frozen treat. It’s what makes these feel like actual Oreo ice cream popsicles.
Milk – Helps thin out the cream just enough so it freezes smoothly without becoming too hard. Any milk works, but I usually go with 2%.
Pure Vanilla Extract – A splash of vanilla brings out the cookies and cream flavor and ties everything together.
Popsicle Sticks – These turn the Oreo packs into actual popsicles! I like to press them in gently after pouring the mix to keep them centered while freezing.
How To Make Homemade Oreo Popsicles
Crush the cookies: Keep the Oreo snack packs sealed and gently crush the cookies inside using your hands. You want small chunks and crumbs, but not completely powdered.
Make the creamy base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract until fully combined. This mixture is what gives the popsicles that rich, ice cream-like flavor.
Fill the Oreo packs: Carefully open just the top seal of each snack pack. Use a funnel (or pour slowly) to fill each pack with the cream mixture, leaving a little space at the top so it doesn’t overflow.
Add the popsicle sticks: Gently insert a popsicle stick into the center of each Oreo pack. It helps to press the stick into the cookies a bit so it stands up straight while freezing.
Freeze until solid: Place the filled packs upright in a small bin or container to keep them steady in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours, but overnight is best for a firm and creamy texture.
Unwrap and enjoy: Once completely frozen, peel away the Oreo packaging and enjoy your homemade Oreo popsicles straight from the stick.
Expert Tips
Use a funnel or spouted measuring cup to pour the cream mixture into the Oreo packs as it makes the process way less messy.
Don’t overfill the packs or the mixture will overflow when you insert the stick. Leave just a little room at the top.
If the packs are wobbly, wedge a dish towel or some crumpled parchment around them in the bin to keep them in place.
Give the packs a gentle tap on the counter after filling to help the mixture settle around the cookies.
Make space in the freezer before starting so you’re not juggling full packs with one hand and opening freezer drawers with the other.
Let the pops sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before peeling the wrapper off. This makes it easier to remove without breaking.
Ways To Customize
Use Golden Oreos or any of the fun seasonal Oreo flavors to mix things up with different tastes.
Swap the vanilla extract for almond or coconut extract for a flavor twist on the creamy base.
Stir a spoonful of powdered peanut butter into the cream mixture before pouring.
Mix in a few mini chocolate chips with the crushed Oreos for an extra bit of chocolate flavor.
Add colorful sprinkles on top before freezing to make these popsicles festive for birthdays or holidays.
Use chocolate milk in place of regular milk for a more intense cookies and cream flavor.
Layer in some caramel sauce as you pour in the cream mixture for a swirled, gooey surprise.
Add a few crushed pretzels into the cookie pack for a sweet and salty combo.
Chop up strawberries or raspberries and mix them in with the crushed cookies for a fruity cookies-and-cream mashup.
Storage Instructions
Once the Oreo popsicles are fully frozen, you can leave them in their original wrappers if you plan to eat them within a few days, just keep them upright in a container or bin to prevent any bending or leaks. For longer storage, peel off the wrappers and transfer the popsicles to a zip-top freezer bag or airtight container. Add a layer of parchment paper between them if stacking, and they’ll stay fresh and creamy for up to 2 weeks.
FAQ
Can I use regular Oreos instead of the snack packs?
Yes, just portion crushed Oreos into small plastic cups or molds and follow the same steps with the cream mixture and popsicle sticks.
How long do Oreo popsicles need to freeze?
They need at least 6 hours to freeze completely, but freezing them overnight gives the best texture and makes them easier to remove from the wrapper.
What’s the best way to keep the popsicle sticks upright?
Set the snack packs in a small bin or loaf pan to keep them standing straight, and gently press the stick into the crushed cookies to help anchor it.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes, use full-fat coconut milk or a dairy-free creamer along with your favorite plant-based milk to get a creamy texture. Whatever combination you use may produce a different texture than you would get with dairy milk.
Can I make these popsicles ahead of time for a party?
Yes, you can make them up to 2 weeks in advance and store them in the freezer until ready to serve.
What kind of milk works best for this recipe?
2% or whole milk works well for a creamy texture, but you can also use skim milk for a lighter option.
How do I get the wrapper off without breaking the popsicle?
Let the popsicle sit at room temperature for 1–2 minutes, then gently peel the wrapper away starting from the top.

Super fun and delicious ice cream treat filled with big chunks of Oreos with a creamy ice cream popsicle. Easy to make right in the package.
Ingredients
6 snack packs of Oreo cookies
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1. Begin by crunching each Oreo Snack Pack to crush the cookies inside the pack without opening it. Set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix together the heavy cream, milk and vanilla. Next, open one side of the Oreo packs and pour the milk mixture into the cookie pack. I used a funnel to make it easy. I also used a small bin to set the snack packs in so they can sit upright.
3. Continue to fill each cookie pack. Then place the popsicle sticks into each open end of the Oreo packs.
4. Place the Oreo popsicles upright in the freezer and freeze for several hours and ideally overnight.
5. Once frozen, peel the packaging off the popsicle and enjoy!
