Ingredients
The Cookie Crust
- 30 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
The Cheesecake Layer
- 12 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 oz Cool Whip, thawed

- 3.9 oz box Chocolate instant pudding
- 3 cups cold milk (divided)
The Topping
- 8 oz Cool Whip
- 1/2–3/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Prepare Crust: Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into a 9×13-inch dish.
Cheesecake Layer: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in 8 oz Cool Whip. Spread over crust.
Cookies & Cream Layer: Whisk cookies and cream pudding with 1.5 cups cold milk until thick. Spread over cheesecake.
Chocolate Layer: Whisk chocolate pudding with remaining 1.5 cups milk. Spread over previous layer.
Finish: Top with remaining Cool Whip and chocolate chips. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Instant Only: Cook & Serve pudding will not set in this recipe; ensure you use Instant to avoid a liquid dessert.
Softened Cream Cheese: Room temperature cream cheese is essential for a smooth, lump-free layer.
The Dollop Method: Spoon pudding in small amounts across the surface before spreading to keep the layers distinct.
