Ingredients List
- 1 package Oreo cookies (14.3 oz) – these are the stars of the show!
- 1/2 cup butter, melted – this binds our crust together and adds richness.
- 1 package cream cheese (8 oz), softened – for that creamy, dreamy layer.
- 1 cup powdered sugar – just the right amount of sweetness to balance the cream cheese.
- 1 tub whipped topping (8 oz) – this lightens up the cream cheese mixture for a fluffier texture.
- 2 packages chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz each) – the star of our chocolate layer.
- 4 cups milk – to make that pudding rich and velvety.
- Additional whipped topping for garnish – because who doesn’t love extra fluff?
- Chocolate shavings for garnish – a little bit of decadence on top!
How to Prepare Instructions
- First things first, grab those Oreo cookies and crush them into fine crumbs. You can pop them in a zip-top bag and smash them with a rolling pin or use a food processor if you have one handy. You want them nice and crumbly!
- Next, mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter in a bowl until it’s all combined. This mixture will be the base of our dessert, so make sure it’s well mixed.
- Now, press the Oreo mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan to create a solid crust. Don’t rush this part; it’s important for holding everything together!
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until it’s smooth and creamy. This is the layer that adds a delightful tang to our dessert.
- Add in the whipped topping and mix until everything is well incorporated and fluffy.
- Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo crust, smoothing it out as you go.
- Now it’s time for the chocolate pudding! In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until it thickens up nicely. This should only take a couple of minutes.
- Pour the thick chocolate pudding layer over the cream cheese layer, spreading it gently to cover.
- Finally, cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. If you can wait overnight, it’s even better! This allows all those flavors to meld beautifully.
