Oreo Dessert with Cream Cheese and Cool Whip 🍰
🍬 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 🍬
1 package Double-stuffed Oreo cookies (30 cookies or 15.35 oz) 🍪
8 tablespoons butter (1 stick) 🧈
3 cups half and half (half milk/half heavy cream) 🥛
2 containers Cool Whip (8 oz. each) 🥄
1 package cream cheese (8 oz.) 🧀
½ cup powdered sugar 🍬
🍬 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 🍬
1. Crush the Oreos:
Place 20 Oreos into a ziplock bag or a clean dish towel. Leave at least 10 Oreos for decoration.
Seal the bag and crush the Oreos using a rolling pin until you have large crumbs. Be careful not to bash too hard!
2. Make the Oreo Crust:
In a bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, taking care not to burn it.
Pour the melted butter over the crumbs and mix until all the crumbs are coated.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9 x 9 inch pan using a measuring cup or spoon to form an even crust.
3. Prepare Chocolate Pudding Mix:
In a bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix with the 3 cups of half and half until well combined.
Place the mixture in the freezer to cool slightly before assembling the dessert.
4. Prepare Cream Cheese and Cool Whip Layer:
If the cream cheese is firm, soften it in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds—do not melt.
Sift in the powdered sugar and whisk until well incorporated.
Gently fold in one container of Cool Whip using a spatula.
5. Add Cream Cheese and Cool Whip Layer:
Spread the cream cheese and Cool Whip mixture evenly over the Oreo crust. Be gentle to avoid disturbing the crust.
6. Add Chocolate Pudding Layer:
Remove the chocolate pudding from the freezer and spread it evenly on top of the cream cheese layer.
7. Add Cool Whip Layer:
Spread the second container of Cool Whip over the chocolate pudding layer, ensuring even distribution for nice, neat layers.
8. Decorate with Oreo Cookies:
Crumble the remaining 10 Oreo cookies on top of the Cool Whip layer. You can crush a few finely for texture variation or leave them in larger chunks.
9. Refrigerate Before Serving:
Chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 hours (or overnight for best results) until firm. This allows the layers to set, making it easier to cut and serve.
