How to Make It

Prepare your delicious no-bake dessert in just a few simple steps.

Crush the Oreos

Crush 32 Oreo cookies in a large, resealable zip top bag with a meat mallet or large soup can. (You could also crush them using your blender or food processor, which is what I like to do.) Combine the crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, mixing until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 13×9 inch baking pan. Place in the refrigerator while you make the next layer.

Beat the Cream Cheese

In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping, then spread over the chilled crust.

Mix the Pudding

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the pudding mixes with the cold milk, then stir in the chopped Oreos. Allow to set just slightly, about 2-3 minutes, then spread over the top of the cream cheese layer.

Add the Final Layer

Spread the rest of the container of whipped topping over the pudding layer. Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Top with more crushed Oreos if desired. Enjoy!

How to Store It

Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freezer: No, it alters the texture.
Reheat: Not applicable; serve cold.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
• Press the crust firmly to create a stable base.
• Use a heavy-duty bag for crushing Oreos to prevent breakage.
• Chill the dessert long enough to allow the layers to set properly.

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy after a summer BBQ or picnic.
• Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
• Serve with fresh berries for a fruity contrast.
