Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Oreo cookies (crushed)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (like Cool Whip, thawed)
- 2 3.9-ounce boxes Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups Cold milk
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate (shaved or grated for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Combine the crushed Oreos with the melted butter in a mixing bowl and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust layer. Use the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed cup to smooth and firmly press the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layers.
Make the cream cheese layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together with a hand or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Fold in half (8 ounces) of the thawed whipped topping gently until fully incorporated.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Use a spatula to create a smooth, even layer. Return the dish to the refrigerator to chill while preparing the next layer.
Prepare the chocolate pudding layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes and cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Spread the chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer. Smooth it out with a spatula for an even surface.
Top with the remaining whipped topping: Gently spread the remaining 8 ounces of whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer, covering it completely.
Garnish with shaved or grated dark chocolate on top for a decorative touch.
Refrigerate the layered dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly before serving.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your decadent 3-Layered Chocolate Delight!
