# Ingredients:
→ Base & Structure
01 -
14 oz pack of Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs
02 -
8 oz of cream cheese, brought to room temp for easy mixing
03 -
1/4 cup of soft unsalted butter
04 -
1 cup of powdered sugar, sifted if needed
→ Filling
05 -
A 3.4 oz box of instant vanilla-flavored pudding mix
06 -
2 cups of cold milk, straight from the fridge
07 -
One 8 oz tub of whipped topping (like Cool Whip), completely thawed
→ Decorations
08 -
Pastel chocolate candies (like M&M's), about 1 cup
09 -
1/2 cup of mini Oreo cookies for a fun garnish
# Instructions:
01 -
Put the Oreos in a food processor or smash them inside a sealed bag with a rolling pin. Hold back 1/2 cup for a topping and press the rest into the bottom of a 9x13 pan to make the crust.
02 -
Whip together the powdered sugar, butter, and cream cheese until it's all smooth. Fold in the Cool Whip gently so it doesn't lose its fluffiness.
03 -
In another bowl, stir the pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens. Let it sit for a few minutes, then slowly blend it into the cream cheese mixture until everything looks even.
04 -
Spread the combined cream cheese and pudding mixture over your Oreo crust. Sprinkle that saved 1/2 cup of crushed Oreos on top to add texture.
05 -
Scatter mini Oreos and colorful candies on the surface. Cover the dish and chill it for at least a couple of hours so the layers set up nicely.
# Notes:
01 -
This sweet treat is a no-bake dessert with Oreo crumbs, fluffy cream layers, and a touch of vanilla.
02 -
Chilling it for two hours or more will bring out the best flavor and texture.
03 -
Make sure your cream cheese is soft to avoid lumps in the mixture.
04 -
Serve it cold for the tastiest results!
