Equipment

Method
 

Make and chill the Oreo crust
  1. Mix the finely crushed Oreo cookies with the melted butter until evenly combined, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 dish.
  2. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to firm up before layering.
Add the cream cheese layer
  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in 1 cup whipped topping until incorporated.
  2. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled Oreo crust in an even layer.
Layer the chocolate pudding
  1. Whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with the cold whole milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
  2. Spread the thickened pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Finish and chill to set
  1. Spread the remaining 2 cups whipped topping over the pudding layer.
  2. Sprinkle crushed Oreos generously over the top for a crumbly finish.
  3. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight until set, then cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Pro tip: press the Oreo crust firmly and chill it before adding the cream cheese layer so the dessert cuts into neat squares. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; freezing is not recommended because the pudding and whipped topping texture can change. For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cream cheese and reduced-sugar whipped topping if you want a less sweet profile.
