Ingredients
- 2 3.4-ounce boxes Vanilla pudding mix (instant)
- 4 cups Milk
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- 36 cookies Golden Oreos (or other vanilla sandwich cookies)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk until smooth and thickened. Set aside to let it fully set.
Step 2
Using a food processor, pulverize the Golden Oreos into fine crumbs to create the ‘sand.’ Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Step 3
In another large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric hand mixer.
Step 4
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture, and beat again until fully combined and fluffy.
Step 5
Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated, being careful not to deflate the fluffiness.
Step 6
Fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture until fully combined to create a light and creamy filling.
Step 7
In a large serving dish, such as a trifle bowl or a 9x13-inch pan, begin layering the dessert. Start with a layer of the crushed cookie ‘sand’ at the bottom, followed by a thick layer of the pudding mixture. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, ending with the crushed cookie layer on top.
Step 8
If desired, decorate the top with gummy candies, edible seashells, or a small paper umbrella for a fun, beach-themed touch.
Step 9
Cover and refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set. Serve chilled.
