A no-bake, layered chocolate dessert featuring a crunchy Oreo crust, creamy cream cheese layer, and rich chocolate pudding, perfect for any occasion and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 12 ounces whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 packets (about 6 ounces total) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 1/4 cups cold milk (whole milk recommended)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or shavings

Instructions

  1. Crush about 36 Oreo cookies until fine crumbs form using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix the Oreo crumbs with 6 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish and pack down firmly. Chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently fold in 12 ounces whipped topping until just combined.
  6. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust and refrigerate to set while preparing the pudding.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 packets instant chocolate pudding mix with 3 1/4 cups cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
  8. Pour the pudding layer carefully over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup chocolate chips or shavings over the pudding layer.
  10. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow layers to set.
  11. Slice into squares and serve chilled. Best eaten the same day or within 2 days for optimal freshness.

Notes

Use a warm knife dipped in hot water and dried before slicing for clean cuts. Chill the dessert overnight for best layer setting. For vegan or dairy-free versions, substitute dairy-free cream cheese, whipped topping, and plant-based milk. Gluten-free option available by using gluten-free sandwich cookies.
