Servings: 8
- 1 package Oreo Cookies (about 36 cookies) Regular Oreos, not double stuff
- 6 tbsp butter melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp cold milk 1% or 2%
- 12 ounces Cool Whip divided
- 2 packages Chocolate Instant Pudding (3.9 ounces each)
- 3 ¼ cups cold milk 1% or 2%
- 1 ½ cups mini chocolate chips
Make the Crust: crush 36 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Transfer the crumbs to a large bowl, then stir in 6 tbsp melted butter. Mix well until the butter is evenly distributed.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place the dish in the fridge while you make the other layers.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add 2 tbsp cold milk and ¼ cup granulated sugar and mix until smooth.
Stir in 1 ¼ cups Cool Whip. Spread this mixture over the crust.
Make the Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the 2 packages of chocolate instant pudding and 3 ¼ cups cold milk. Whisk for a few minutes until it starts to thicken.
Spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to firm up.
Top the dessert: Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips evenly on top.
Chill and Serve: Place the dessert in the freezer for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 4 hours or overnight before serving.
