Ingredients

Scale

Essential Ingredients

  • 24 Oreo Cookies (crushed)
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) Instant Pudding Mix (vanilla or chocolate)
  • 2 cups Cold Milk
  • 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup Whipped Topping (Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)

Optional Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • Mini Chocolate Chips (to taste)
  • Fresh Berries or Sliced Bananas (for layering)
  • Peanut Butter (for an additional layer, optional)
  • Melted Chocolate (for drizzling, optional)
  • Mint-flavored Oreos (as a substitute option)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Start by crushing the Oreo cookies until you achieve a fine crumb texture with some larger chunks for added crunch. Place them in a sealed plastic bag and gently pound with a rolling pin or pulse in a food processor.
  2. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and cold milk according to the package instructions. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  3. Make the Creamy Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the thickened pudding mixture and whipped topping gently to create a rich, fluffy filling.
  4. Layer the Dessert: In a large glass dish or individual cups, alternate layers starting with crushed Oreos followed by the creamy filling. Continue layering and finish with a thick layer of the creamy filling on top.
  5. Chill and Set: Cover the assembled cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.

Notes

  • Use cold milk and whipped topping to help pudding set properly.
  • Gently fold whipped topping into the filling to keep it light and airy.
  • For maximum crunch, use freshly crushed Oreos rather than stale ones.
  • Layer in smaller portions for an even balance between cookie and cream.
  • Allow ample chilling time; longer refrigeration enhances flavor and texture.
