Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 package Oreo Cookies (about 36 cookies) (Regular Oreos, not double stuff)
- 6 tbsp butter (melted)
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cold milk (1% or 2%)
- 1 ¼ cups Cool Whip
Pudding Layer
- 2 packages Chocolate Instant Pudding (3.9 ounces each)
- 3 ¼ cups cold milk (1% or 2%)
Topping
- Remaining Cool Whip (about 10 ¾ ounces)
- 1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make the Crust: Crush 36 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing the cookies in a ziplock bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Mix Crust Ingredients: Transfer the crushed Oreo crumbs to a large bowl, then stir in 6 tablespoons melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the butter is evenly incorporated into the crumbs.
- Form Crust: Press the Oreo and butter mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the next layers.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or whisk. Add 2 tablespoons cold milk and ¼ cup granulated sugar, mixing until fully combined and smooth.
- Add Cool Whip: Gently fold 1 ¼ cups of Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture until well blended. Spread this creamy layer evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
- Prepare Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 packages of chocolate instant pudding and 3 ¼ cups cold milk. Whisk continuously for a few minutes until the pudding begins to thicken.
- Assemble Pudding Layer: Spread the thickened chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer. Let the dessert sit for about 5 minutes to allow the pudding to firm up slightly.
- Add Topping: Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer to form a smooth top layer. Then sprinkle 1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips evenly over the whipped topping.
- Chill and Serve: Place the assembled dessert in the freezer for 1 hour or refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until firmly set. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure to use regular Oreos, not double stuffed, for the best crust texture.
- Do not substitute whipped topping with heavy cream, as the texture of the dessert depends on the Cool Whip.
- Allowing the pudding layer to rest helps it set and keeps layers from mixing.
- For an extra crunch, you can freeze the dessert after assembling and serve it semi-frozen.
- This dessert is best stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days for optimal freshness.
