Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 package (14.3 oz) regular Oreo cookies
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 16 oz whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), divided
• 1 package (5.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 2¾ cups cold milk

Directions

1. Make the crust: Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin and zip-top bag. Reserve 1 cup of crumbs for topping. Mix the remaining crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Chill while preparing the next layer.
2. Cream cheese layer: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and beat until well combined. Fold in half the whipped topping until light and fluffy. Spread evenly over the chilled crust. Return to refrigerator.
3. Pudding layer: Whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk in a medium bowl until thickened (about 2 minutes). Spread over the cream cheese layer. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to set.
4. Final topping: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs over the top.
5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set. For neater slices, freeze for 30 minutes before serving.

FAQs

Can I use double-stuffed Oreos?

How do I crush Oreos without a food processor?

Can I make this in a smaller pan?
