8
cups
Ingredients
Pudding Layer
- 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk cold
- 1 box (96 g) instant pudding mix vanilla or chocolate, 3.4 oz (96g) box
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
Assembly
- 8 oz (226 g) Cool Whip or whipped topping, thawed
- 25 Oreo cookies crushed, plus extra for garnish
Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Hand mixer or stand mixer
- Whisk
- Spatula
- Zip-top Bag
- Rolling Pin
- Serving cups, bowls, or jars
Instructions
- Whisk the pudding: In a large bowl, whisk the cold milk and the instant pudding mix together vigorously for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Set aside.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until completely smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Loosen the cream cheese mixture: Add about 1/2 cup of the prepared pudding to the cream cheese bowl. Stir until smooth and fully combined. Then add the remaining pudding and beat until just mixed and smooth.
- Fold in Cool Whip: Gently fold in about 3/4 of the Cool Whip (reserve some for topping), being careful not to overmix. Swirls are fine!
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and roughly crush them using a rolling pin. Some chunks and some smaller pieces create the best texture.
- Layer the dessert: In serving cups, bowls, or jars, add a layer of crushed Oreos, then a generous scoop of the pudding mixture. Repeat with another layer, if desired. Finish with a final sprinkle of Oreos on top.
- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, so the cookies soften a bit and flavors meld.
- Serve: Just before serving, top each cup with a dollop of reserved Cool Whip, sprinkle with extra crushed Oreos, and garnish with a whole cookie if you like. Serve cold and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe can be doubled or tripled and layered in a large trifle dish for serving a crowd. Store covered in the fridge for 3–4 days. Try using chocolate pudding, Golden Oreos, or homemade whipped cream for easy variations. Don’t skip the chill time—the flavor and texture improve as it sits.
