Ingredients
- 1 package (about 36) chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 16 oz whipped topping (like Cool Whip), divided
- 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
- Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, crushed cookies, chocolate shavings, chocolate syrup
Instructions
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust. Chill while preparing the layers.
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and 1 cup of whipped topping. Mix until light and fluffy. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mixes with cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it gently over the pudding layer.
- Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or other optional toppings.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to set.
- Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
Use the entire cookie (including cream) for the crust—no need to remove the filling.Make ahead and chill overnight for firmer layers and better flavor.Try different pudding flavors or sandwich cookies for fun variations.Do not freeze—texture may change once thawed.Homemade stabilized whipped cream can be used in place of store-bought whipped topping.
