Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 8 ounces whipped topping
Crust Components:
- 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Garnish and Optional Toppings:
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
- Whipped topping
- Chocolate syrup
- Shaved chocolate
Instructions
- Craft the foundation by pulverizing Oreo cookies and blending with melted butter until uniformly moist and crumbly.
- Transfer the cookie mixture into a 9×13-inch dish, pressing firmly to create a compact, even base layer that reaches all corners.
- Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes to stabilize while preparing subsequent layers.
- Whisk chocolate pudding mix with cold milk vigorously for precisely 2 minutes until the mixture thickens and transforms into a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Allow pudding to rest and set for 5 minutes, enabling it to develop a rich, dense texture.
- Carefully spread the chocolate pudding across the chilled Oreo crust, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Gently layer whipped topping over the pudding, using a spatula to create a soft, pillowy surface without disturbing the underlying pudding.
- Crumble remaining Oreo cookies and generously scatter across the whipped topping for textural contrast.
- Optional: Enhance visual appeal by drizzling chocolate syrup or sprinkling chocolate shavings over the top.
- Seal the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, ideally overnight, to allow flavors to meld and layers to set completely.
- When ready to serve, slice into equal squares and enjoy the chilled dessert immediately.
Notes
- Swap regular Oreos with gluten-free versions to make this dessert suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Crush Oreos in a food processor or place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin for consistent texture.
- Ensure cold milk when preparing pudding to help it set properly and achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Make ahead and refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor integration and firmer layers that are easier to slice.
