Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
- 6 ounces Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups Milk
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Prepare the crust by crushing the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the next layers.
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Fold in half of the whipped topping (8 ounces) into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it smoothly over the dessert.
Optional: Sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles over the top as garnish.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to set before serving.
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
