Ingredients
1
cup plain greek yogurt
5
individual oreo cookies
1
teaspoon honey
1 / 2
teaspoons vanilla extract
1
pinch salt
Steps
Step 1
Separate your Oreos. Take 2 cookies and crush them into a very fine powder (you can use a small blender or a zip-top bag and a rolling pin). Take the remaining 2–3 cookies and break them into larger, bite-sized chunks.
Step 2
In a bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt with the vanilla extract, the optional sweetener, and that tiny pinch of salt until smooth.
Step 3
Fold in the fine Oreo powder. Stir it gently so you see beautiful grey and white swirl. This ensures every single spoonful of yogurt tastes like cookies and cream, not just plain yogurt.
Step 4
Fold in half of the large cookie chunks. Top the bowl with the remaining chunks right before eating so they stay crunchy.
Footnote
If you let the mixture sit in the fridge for about 10 minutes before eating, the larger cookie chunks soften just slightly to a "cake-like" texture, similar to an ice cream cake.
Sliced strawberries or raspberries pair beautifully with the chocolate and cream, adding a fresh acidity.
If you're eating this post-workout, stir in 1/2 scoop of vanilla protein powder. Because of the Oreo dust, you won't even taste the powder!
What makes this dish special?
This recipe is a sophisticated upgrade from the pre-packaged versions you find at the grocery store. What makes it special is the "Double-Texture" method. Instead of just stirring in crushed cookies, we fold in a fine "Oreo dust" that turns the yogurt into a grey, marbleized cream, and then top it with larger, hand-broken chunks.
By using Greek yogurt as the base, you get a tangy contrast that mimics the flavor of cheesecake, making this feel like a decadent dessert while still being packed with protein.
