Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
  • Additional crushed Oreos for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pudding: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  2. Mix cream cheese and whipped topping: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold in 1½ cups of the whipped topping until combined and creamy.
  3. Combine cream cheese mixture with pudding: Fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture gently until fully incorporated.
  4. Layer the dessert: In a trifle dish or large glass bowl, start by spreading a layer of crushed Oreos on the bottom. Then add a layer of the cream cheese and pudding mixture. Repeat the layers—Oreo crumbs followed by the creamy mixture—until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of crushed Oreos on top.
  5. Chill: Cover the dessert and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to let the flavors meld and the dessert set properly.
  6. Serve: Garnish with additional crushed Oreos if desired and serve chilled.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer texture.
  • For a chocolate twist, use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla pudding.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for the creamiest results.
  • Letting the dessert chill overnight improves the flavor and texture.
  • Gluten-free Oreos can be used to make the dessert gluten-free.
