Description
A delicious and easy no-bake Oreo dessert featuring layers of crushed Oreos, creamy vanilla pudding mixed with cream cheese and Cool Whip, topped with Oreo crumbles. Perfect for a quick, crowd-pleasing treat without needing the oven.
Ingredients
Crust Layer
- 1 package Oreos (about 36 cookies), crushed, with a few reserved for topping
- ½ cup butter, melted
Filling
- 1 (6.9 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 8 ounces Cool Whip
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo crust: Crush the Oreos thoroughly and place them evenly in the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan, reserving a few crushed Oreos for topping later.
- Add melted butter: Pour the melted butter over the crushed Oreos in the pan and mix well to combine, creating a firm base layer.
- Mix pudding base: In a large bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes.
- Combine cream cheese and sugar: Add the softened cream cheese and sugar to the pudding mixture, beating until smooth and well incorporated.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold the Cool Whip into the pudding mixture until completely blended and creamy.
- Assemble the dessert: Spread the creamy pudding mixture evenly over the Oreo crust in the pan.
- Add topping and chill: Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos on top of the pudding layer. Refrigerate the dessert for 2-3 hours until firm and set for best results.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip.
- Allow the dessert to chill overnight for the best texture and flavor absorption.
- This dessert can be customized by adding a layer of chocolate or caramel sauce between the crust and filling.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
