Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Oreo Crust
- Oreo cookies: Use regular Oreo cookies or chocolate sandwich cookies for the crust and topping.
- Melted butter: Helps the crushed cookies press into a firm, rich no-bake crust.
For the Cream Cheese Layer
- Cream cheese: Softened cream cheese gives the dessert a cheesecake-style flavor.
- Powdered sugar: Sweetens the cream cheese layer and keeps it smooth.
- Vanilla extract: Adds warm dessert flavor.
- Whipped topping: Makes the cream cheese layer light, fluffy, and easy to spread.
For the Chocolate Pudding Layer
- Instant chocolate pudding mix: Use instant pudding, not cook-and-serve pudding.
- Cold milk: Helps the pudding set into a smooth, creamy layer.
For the Topping
- Whipped topping: Creates the soft final cream layer.
- Crushed Oreo cookies: Add that classic cookies-and-cream finish.
- Chocolate drizzle: Optional, but beautiful for presentation.
- Mini chocolate chips: Optional, for extra chocolate texture.
Best Oreo Tip
Crush the cookies finely for the crust, but leave some larger pieces for the topping. This gives the dessert both structure and texture.
Best Cream Cheese Tip
Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing. Cold cream cheese can leave lumps in the filling.
