Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies (plus extra for garnish)
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (16 oz) tub whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), divided
- 2 (3.9 oz) boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- Chocolate shavings or crushed Oreos for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Crush Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Mix crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into a 9x13 inch dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.
- In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Fold in half of the whipped topping.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
- In another bowl, whisk pudding mix and milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Spread over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with the remaining whipped topping and smooth the surface.
- Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos or chocolate shavings on top if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese, sugar-free pudding, or light whipped topping.
- You can substitute chocolate pudding with vanilla, cheesecake, or mint chocolate for a fun twist.
- Homemade whipped cream can be used, but make sure it's stabilized if prepping ahead.
- Dessert is best served cold—no baking or reheating needed.
