Healthier Oreo Poke Cake made with applesauce, filled with condensed milk and Oreo Flavored whipped topping.
I don’t normally use box cake mixes, but this one tastes like the most decadent oreo cake with a molten creme filling (the condensed milk flavor is amazing). The perfect poke cake.
Oreo Poke Cake
Oreo Poke CakePoke Cakes are usually so rich and heavy that most people who are dieting haven’t considered them viable options. Even when making this recipe, when you start adding up the condensed milk, the cake, the toppings and more, you can start getting nervous of all the big numbers. Even worse if you’re making a classic cake recipe.
This is the second recipe where I’m using a cake mix to create a great dessert option. The first was a delicious Strawberry Shortcake Poke Cake that we can’t stop making this summer.

Since we are using Cool Whip for the topping this cake can be cut and served in a party setting without worrying about homemade whipped cream melting. You also save quite a lot of points because you aren’t using frosting but the Cool Whip is still shelf stable.
You can certainly adjust the flavors as you’d like or add in extra toppings you may love. I added extra chunks of Oreos on the top as a cute garnish but you can also crumble up additional Oreos on top.
24 servings for the pan may seem extreme, but in a 9×13 pan this is pretty standard for a small slice of cake!
Some great summery Poke Cake Flavors!
- Strawberry Lemonade Poke Cake: Add in extra lemon juice and zest into the condensed milk, cake mix and topping.
- Coconut Lime Poke Cake: Add lime flavors in place of strawberry and add in coconut flakes in the cake and top with toasted coconut.
- Fruit Punch Poke Cake: Use fruit punch jello flavoring and add in chopped strawberries, grapes and orange zest into the cake mix.
- Mango Poke Cake: Substitute mango powder in place of strawberry and add chunks of mango in the cake as well as on top of the cake.

Yum, this looks like the perfect sweet treat to bring to a cookout or family get together!
These sound delicious right about now!
Can you provide the nutritional information as you did for the strawberry poke cake? I’m interested to know how many calories per serving. Thanks!
Sorry about that! Added now 🙂
This cake is gorgeous! Love Oreo!
This is making me drool! I need to try it this weekend!!
I’m eating this right now and it is SO GOOD!!! This is my new favorite cake!! Thank you so much for posting the recipe!! I gave this recipe 5 stars…I wish I could give it a 100!!! 🙂
Thank you so much, Laura! I love when my recipes are such a success!
So once you poke cake and add milk are you still baking or is this step after cake has cooled from oven?
You are adding it after the cake is baked.
These would be fun as cupcakes. I believe you can make 24 cup cakes out of a mix.
What is condensed milk? I’m familiar with sweetened condensed milk – is this the same thing? If not, can you tell us where to shop for condensed milk please?
Yes, same thing but the fat free version 🙂
How many points?
The company that uses “points” has reached out to me claiming points are proprietary and demanded that I stop sharing them with my recipes. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I put the nutrition information into my ww app and it said 12 sp each.how are you coming up with 6 sp.
The company that uses “points” has reached out to me claiming points are proprietary and demanded that I stop sharing them with my recipes. But you might get different results using a recipe creator that calculates points for each ingredient individually.
Can this be made ahead of time and frozen (just so I don’t eat it all before company comes lol)?
Made this on Easter and it was a hit…
So glad everyone loved it!
Made this on Easter and it was and everyone enjoyed it..
I’m a little confused. When I type in all the ingredients on WW recipe builder, it says 3pts (on Blue) per serving.
…when I use numbers off the nutrition guide and plug them in to the WW calculator, it says 12pts per serving. Which is it?
Hi Cali, I wish I could help you with this. I was sent a letter by them requiring I remove all counts from the site. I asked them to reconsider and was firmly told no.
Use the way of calculating points by using recipe builder,it will give accurate points, nutrition info dose not take into account free foods per program!
what are the WW points for 1 piece of the oreo cake?
This looks great. Can I make it a day ahead of serving?
I’m wondering if you can leave out the eggs, applesauce and yogurt and just use a can of pumpkin. Bake the cake as usual then add the sweetened condensed milk. I make this cake all the time but use the pumpkin.do you think it would work? I figured it at 5 Ww points doing it this way.
That’s a great question! I haven’t tried it but would love to hear how it turns out for you.
How many WW points in blue for this
