Supplies Needed:
- Plastic zip-top (or Ziploc) bag
- 9×13 baking dish
- Mixer (whisk attachment on stand mixer, hand mixer, or whisk)
- Spoon for transferring pudding mixture and folding in Cool Whip
- Plastic wrap to cover baking dish when refrigerating
🧾 Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 package of Double Stuf Oreos (regular or family size)
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 2 small packages (3.9 ounces each) instant chocolate pudding
- 3 1/4 cups milk (whole, 2%, or skim)
- 2 containers of Cool Whipped Topping (8 oz. each, total of 16 ounces)
- 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
👩🏻🍳 How to Make This Oreo Dessert
-
Begin by placing two rows of double-stuffed Oreos into a large Ziploc bag. Seal the bag and crush the cookies into small chunks by applying pressure with the palm of your hands. Alternatively, you can use a rolling pin or a food processor if you prefer.
-
Once the Oreos are crushed, pour them into a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
-
Place the remaining row of Oreos in the Ziploc bag and crush them to use as a topping.
-
Pour the melted butter over the crushed Oreos in the baking pan and mix thoroughly with a spoon. Pat down the mixture and refrigerate until it sets.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the milk and instant pudding powder until the powder is fully incorporated. Increase the speed and whisk until the pudding thickens.
-
Transfer the pudding mixture to a separate bowl and refrigerate to chill.
-
Clean out the mixing bowl and whip the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until the mixture is smooth. Fold in one container of Cool Whip.
-
Retrieve the baking pan with the Oreo crust from the refrigerator. Layer the dessert as follows:
- Oreo crust
- Cream cheese and Cool Whip mixture
- Chocolate pudding
- Cool Whip
- Oreo cookie crumbs
-
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours before slicing into heavenly pieces.
💡 Expert Tips:
- Thaw the containers of Cool Whip in the refrigerator overnight for easier handling.
- Pro tip: To loosen the cookie crust for the first slice, place a dishcloth soaked in hot water beneath the corner. After approximately one minute, remove the cloth and slice. The heat will help release the Oreo crust, allowing for a more enjoyable dessert experience.
