Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 48 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 10 tablespoons salted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Filling
- 12 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 3 cups half and half or whole milk
- 7.8 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 6 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Topping
- 8 ounces Cool Whip, thawed
- 12 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine 48 finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted salted butter. Stir the mixture until it resembles damp sand. Press the mixture evenly into the base of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form a compact crust. Chill this crust layer in the refrigerator while preparing the remaining layers to help it set firmly.
- Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, blend the cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip and the vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated. Gently fold in 6 finely crushed Oreo cookies. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Return the dish to the refrigerator to chill this layer as well.
- Create the Pudding Layer: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together 3 cups of half and half or whole milk with the instant chocolate pudding mix until the pudding thickens according to package instructions. Fold in 6 finely crushed Oreo cookies. Spread this pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer and place the dish back in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to slightly set the pudding layer.
- Add the Topping and Chill: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of thawed Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer. Sprinkle 12 finely crushed Oreo cookies over the top for garnish. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to fully set and meld together before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whole milk or half and half to achieve a richer texture and flavor.
- Make sure all layers are well chilled before adding the next to ensure clear, distinct layers in the final dessert.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator, which enhances the flavor as the layers meld.
- Oreo cookies can be finely crushed using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- If desired, garnish the top with mini Oreo halves or chocolate shavings for added presentation.
