This Oreo Cookies and Cream Dessert combines the beloved crunch of Oreo cookies with creamy, decadent layers of cream cheese and chocolate pudding, creating a crowd-pleasing treat. The buttery Oreo crust adds a rich base, while the light whipped topping balances out the sweetness.
Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 16 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip), divided
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Extra crushed Oreos for garnish
Instructions:
- Crust: Crush 20 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan to create the crust. Set aside in the fridge to chill.
- Cream Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping and mix gently. Spread this mixture evenly over the Oreo crust.
- Pudding Layer: In another bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens. Spread this pudding layer over the cream cheese layer.
- Top Layer: Gently spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer.
- Garnish: Crush the remaining Oreo cookies and sprinkle them over the top of the whipped topping. Chill the dessert for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
