This is a dessert we like from the bakery section of our local grocery store. Every time I try to ask them how many calories is in it they shrug and say no clue. It tastes light and on the dryer side so no sugary syrup and the cookie cream tastes more like Oreos whipped with simple whipping cream. I’m hoping there’s more of us that like this dessert have an idea what’s the calorie cost 🙂
I’m estimating roughly 600-800 for the whole thing. The choc layer is a simple sponge and the cream is super light and not sugary. The total weight of it is not written on the label. Any help is appreciated!!!

ChatGPT estimate:
Short answer: likely about 700–1,100 kcal for the whole cup, with a best single estimate near ~900 kcal. Explanation and how I got that:
– From the photos it’s layers of light whipped cream (with crushed Oreo cookie) alternating with chocolate sponge/crumb layers in a 12–16 oz takeout cup (typical bakery portion).
– Typical energy densities I used:
– Whipped cream + crushed Oreo mix (light, not sweetened-syrupy): ~150–300 kcal per 100 g (wide range because “light” whipped cream can be ~120–160 kcal/100 g but adding crushed Oreos raises it).
– Chocolate sponge / cookie-crumb layers: ~300–400 kcal per 100 g (cookies/crumbs are calorie-dense).
– If the cup weighs ~340 g (12 oz): split roughly 60% cream / 40% cake → estimate range:
– Lower bound: (204 g cream × 150 kcal/100 g) + (136 g cake × 300 kcal/100 g) ≈ 306 + 408 = ~714 kcal
– Upper bound: (204 g cream × 300 kcal/100 g) + (136 g cake × 400 kcal/100 g) ≈ 612 + 544 = ~1,156 kcal
– So a reasonable estimate: 700–1,100 kcal; best single guess ≈ 900 kcal.
Ways to get a tighter estimate:
– Weigh the cup (or empty the contents and weigh them) and I can recalc.
– Ask the bakery for the portion weight or ingredient amounts.
– Compare to packaged products: an Oreo milkshake/parfait or a store Oreo trifle portion often lists 600–1,000 kcal for similar sizes.
