Ingredients
The Oreo Crust
- 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
The Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup Cool Whip
The Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 2 (3.9 oz) packages instant chocolate pudding
- 2 3/4 cups cold milk
The Topping & Garnish
- 2 cups Cool Whip
- 1 1/2 cups Oreo cookies, crushed
- Garnish: Peeps bunnies, Easter egg candies
Instructions
Crust: Mix 36 crushed Oreos with 1/2 cup melted butter. Press into a 9×13 dish and chill.
Cream Cheese Layer: Beat cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Fold in 1 cup Cool Whip and spread over crust.
Pudding Layer: Whisk pudding mixes with cold milk until thick. Spread over the cream cheese layer and refrigerate for 10 mins.
Top: Spread remaining Cool Whip over the pudding. Sprinkle with 1.5 cups crushed Oreos. Chill for 4+ hours or overnight.
Garnish: Arrange Peeps bunnies and candies on top just before serving.
Notes
Why Cool Whip? It is a stabilized topping, which prevents the layers from collapsing and ensures distinct stripes when sliced.
Drop and Spread: Dollop small amounts of each layer over the surface rather than dumping in one spot to avoid tearing the delicate layer beneath.
Clean Slices: For perfect squares, freeze for 30 minutes before cutting with a hot, sharp knife.
