Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 24 Easter edition Oreo cookies (or 1.5 cups crushed Oreo pieces)

Pudding

  • 1 package instant vanilla or white chocolate pudding mix (3.4 oz)
  • 2 cups whole or 2% milk

Whipped Topping

  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
  • Food coloring (optional, pastel shades)

Garnish

  • Colorful Easter-themed sprinkles or mini candy eggs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: Whisk the instant pudding mix with 2 cups of milk according to the package instructions. Let it set for a few minutes until it thickens to a creamy texture.
  2. Crush the Oreo cookies: Use a food processor or place the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush gently with a rolling pin to get a mix of chunks and crumbs for texture variety.
  3. Whip the topping: If desired, fold in a few drops of pastel food coloring into the whipped topping to add festive colors. This step is optional but enhances the Easter theme.
  4. Layer the casserole: In a clear glass casserole dish, start with a layer of Oreo cookie pieces, then a layer of prepared pudding, followed by a layer of whipped topping. Repeat these layers until the dish is full, finishing with a layer of whipped topping on top.
  5. Garnish and chill: Sprinkle colorful Easter sprinkles or mini candy eggs over the top layer. Refrigerate the casserole for at least 2 hours to let the layers set and flavors meld.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the pudding; stir just until combined for optimal creamy texture.
  • Use a clear dish or trifle bowl to showcase the colorful layers.
  • Chill thoroughly for at least 2 hours for best texture and flavor.
  • Mix finely crushed and chunkier Oreo pieces for a pleasant contrast.
  • This dessert can be prepared a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
