Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding (3.4 ounces/96 grams)
- 1 box instant chocolate pudding (3.4 ounces/96 grams)
- 3 cups cold milk
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Toppings and Finishing:
- 3 cups whipped topping
- Christmas sprinkles
- Mini M&Ms or holiday candies
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, blending thoroughly with melted butter until cohesive. Press mixture firmly into a 9×13 inch pan, creating an even, compact base. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to solidify.
- Whip cream cheese with sugar, incorporating milk and vanilla extract until silky smooth. Gently fold in whipped topping, maintaining a light, airy texture. Carefully spread this creamy mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
- Prepare chocolate pudding using precise measurements, stirring until thickened and glossy. Allow to set slightly at room temperature. Carefully distribute chocolate pudding as the first layer, ensuring complete coverage of cream cheese mixture.
- Craft vanilla pudding with consistent technique, achieving a smooth, luxurious consistency. Delicately spread vanilla pudding as the second layer, creating a distinct contrast against the chocolate layer.
- Crown the dessert with a generous layer of whipped topping, spreading edge to edge. Embellish with colorful sprinkles and decorative candies for visual appeal. Refrigerate for minimum 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and texture to set perfectly.
Notes
- Crushing cookies perfectly requires a food processor or sealed bag with rolling pin for ultra-fine, consistent texture.
- Room temperature cream cheese ensures smooth, lump-free layer without overmixing.
- Layering puddings while slightly warm helps them settle evenly without creating distinct separation lines.
- Chilling time matters: minimum 4 hours lets flavors meld, but overnight produces superior taste and firmer texture.
