Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Instant vanilla pudding mix
- 4 cups Cold milk
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Shaved chocolate or chocolate chips (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin, or use a food processor for a finer texture.
Melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop, then mix it with the crushed cookies until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the cookie mixture firmly into the bottom of a 13x9-inch serving dish to create an even crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the layers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine one package of vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
Gently fold 8 ounces of the whipped topping into the vanilla pudding until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
Repeat the pudding preparation process with the chocolate pudding mix by whisking it with the remaining 2 cups of cold milk and allowing it to thicken.
Spoon the chocolate pudding layer evenly over the vanilla pudding layer in the dish, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Gently spread the remaining 8 ounces of whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer, ensuring full coverage for a neat finish.
If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts over the whipped topping layer for added texture and flavor.
Garnish with shaved chocolate or a sprinkle of chocolate chips for a decorative touch.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set properly.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your layered pudding dessert!
