Ingredients
  

Oreo crust
  • 36 Oreo cookies Finely crushed
  • 6 tbsp butter Melted
Cream cheese layer
  • 8 oz cream cheese Softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping Folded in
Chocolate pudding layer
  • 2 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding
  • 3 cup whole milk Cold
Topping
  • 2 cup whipped topping
  • Crushed Oreos For garnish

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Make the Oreo crust
  1. Mix the finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter until evenly combined, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish.
  2. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to firm it up, so it holds a crisp base when sliced.
Build the cream cheese layer
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in 1 cup of whipped topping and spread over the Oreo crust.
Add the chocolate pudding layer
  1. Whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with the cold whole milk for 2 minutes until thickened, then spread evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Finish and chill
  1. Spread the remaining 2 cups of whipped topping over the pudding layer to cover completely.
  2. Sprinkle crushed Oreos generously over the top for a textured, crackled finish.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set, then cut into squares and serve.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, chill until fully set (overnight is ideal) and wipe your knife between cuts. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the whipped topping can weep when thawed. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping if available, keeping the texture as creamy and sliceable.
