Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
• 1 package Double Stuff Oreos (you can use regular Oreos or another flavor you prefer)
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 (8 oz) tubs Cool Whip
• 2 boxes chocolate pudding (1.5 oz each)
• 3 cups cold milk
Directions
-
Using a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies in batches until they’re fine crumbs.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with melted butter. Stir until well mixed.
-
Press the Oreo mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13 baking dish. Refrigerate while you prepare the next layers.
-
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated.
-
Fold in one tub of Cool Whip until combined. Spread this creamy layer over the Oreo crust, then chill in the refrigerator.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and chocolate pudding mix until smooth. Allow it to thicken for 3–5 minutes, then pour over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly.
-
Spread the second tub of Cool Whip over the pudding layer.
-
If desired, sprinkle additional Oreo crumbs on top for extra texture.
-
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving to allow the layers to set.
Servings and timing
This recipe makes about 12–15 servings, depending on how large you cut the squares. Prep time is about 20–30 minutes, and chilling time is at least 4 hours (longer is better for clean slices).
Variations
• Use flavored Oreos like mint, peanut butter, or birthday cake for a fun twist.
• Swap chocolate pudding for vanilla or caramel pudding to change the flavor profile.
• Add chopped nuts, candy pieces, or fresh fruit (like strawberries) between layers for extra texture.
Storage/Reheating
• To store: Cover tightly with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3–4 days.
• Do not reheat: This dessert is meant to be served cold; reheating will melt the layers and change the texture.
FAQs
What kind of Oreos should I use?
You can use Double Stuff Oreos, regular Oreos, or even flavored varieties to change the taste.
Do I need instant pudding mix?
Yes — instant pudding thickens without cooking and works best for this no‑bake dessert.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Absolutely! Make it the day before serving so the layers set perfectly.
How long should it chill?
At least 4 hours in the fridge, but overnight gives the best texture.
Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
Yes — homemade whipped cream works, but it may be softer than store‑bought toppings.
Can I use low‑fat or plant‑based ingredients?
Yes, but texture may vary slightly; ensure pudding and whipped topping alternatives set well.
How should leftovers be stored?
Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a few days.
Can this be frozen?
Freezing is not recommended for best texture, as the layers may become watery when thawed.
Why didn’t my pudding layer set?
Make sure you use instant pudding mix and allow it to thicken before spreading.
Can I assemble this in individual cups?
Yes! Layer the ingredients in serving cups for a fun presentation.
