Ingredients

  • 1 package (15.35 ounces) Double-Stuffed Oreo cookies
  • 1/2 cup butter (melted)
  • 2 boxes (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 ¼ cups cold milk
  • 2 containers (8 ounces each) Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place all Oreo cookies in a large zip-lock bag and seal it. Use a rolling pin to crush the cookies into small chunks—avoid crushing them into fine crumbs to keep some texture.
  2. Step 2: Reserve 1/3 of the cookie crumbs for topping. Mix the remaining crumbs with the melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan to form a crust.
  3. Step 3: In a bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes with cold milk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate to allow the pudding to set.
  4. Step 4: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix well. Fold in one container of Cool Whip, then spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie crust.
  5. Step 5: Spread the set chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer. Top with the remaining container of Cool Whip, smoothing it evenly. Finally, sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs on top. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For a nutty twist, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts over the top before chilling.
  • Use regular Oreos instead of Double-Stuffed for a less sweet crust and topping.
  • If you prefer a firmer dessert, chill overnight for the best set.
  • Add a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce between layers for extra indulgence.

Storage

Store the dessert covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To serve, you can enjoy it cold straight from the fridge or let it sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes for a softer texture. Avoid freezing, as the whipped topping and pudding can change texture.

FAQs

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes, this dessert actually tastes better after chilling for several hours or overnight, allowing the layers to set and flavors to meld.

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Yes, homemade whipped cream can be used as a fresh alternative, but it may be less stable, so enjoy the dessert within a day for best texture.
