Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 package (about 36 cookies) Oreo cookies, finely crushed

For the Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed

- 1 package (5.1 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2¾ cups cold milk
For the Topping
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping, thawed
- Extra crushed Oreos or mini Oreos for garnish (optional)

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form a crust. Chill in the fridge while you prep the layers.
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Layer
In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in one container of whipped topping. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
Step 3: Prepare the Pudding Layer
In a separate bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until thickened. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
Step 4: Add the Whipped Topping
Spread the remaining container of whipped topping over the pudding layer. Smooth it out with a spatula.
Step 5: Garnish and Chill
Sprinkle extra crushed Oreos or mini Oreos on top if you’re feeling extra! Chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving so the layers can set.
Tips for the Best Layered Oreo Dessert

FAQs
Can I use double-stuffed Oreos?

Can I freeze this dessert?
Yes, but let it thaw for 15–20 minutes before serving so it’s not too firm.
