1. Begin by preparing the pudding. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
2. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into small chunks. You can do this by placing them in a resealable plastic bag and using a rolling pin or pulse them a few times in a food processor, being careful to leave some small chunks for texture.
3. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream (if making homemade whipped cream) until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to whip until stiff peaks form. Alternatively, use store-bought whipped cream.
4. Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream into the prepared pudding mixture to create a light and creamy texture.
5. In small serving glasses or a large serving dish, begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of crushed cookies at the bottom, followed by a layer of pudding. Continue alternating layers, ensuring the pudding layer is the final one.
6. Top the pudding with dollops of the remaining whipped cream and sprinkle crushed sandwich cookies as garnish.
7. Chill the pudding in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve cold and enjoy!
