A cozy 5-layer dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, creamy cream cheese layer, silky chocolate pudding, fluffy whipped topping, and mini chocolate chips. Perfect for sharing and made ahead for stress-free indulgence.
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (whole cookie, cream included)
- 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
- 12 ounces (340g) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), divided
- 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 1/4 cups (770ml) whole milk, cold
- 1 cup (170g) mini chocolate chips
- Shaved chocolate or curls (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush 24 Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by smashing in a plastic bag with a rolling pin.
- Mix crushed Oreos with 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press cookie mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then let cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in 8 ounces whipped topping gently until fluffy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together 2 packages instant chocolate pudding mix with 3 1/4 cups cold milk for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Pour pudding over the cream cheese layer and smooth out.
- Spread the remaining 4 ounces whipped topping over the pudding layer.
- Sprinkle 1 cup mini chocolate chips evenly over the top layer.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set and meld flavors.
