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
- 0 Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Fold in half of the whipped topping (8 ounces) into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Step 6
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 7
In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
Step 8
Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Step 9
Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it smoothly over the dessert.
Step 10
Optional: Sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles over the top as garnish.
Step 11
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to set before serving.
Step 12
Slice into squares and serve chilled.
