- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
The Cheesecake Layer:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip)
The Pudding Layer:
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
The Topping:
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping
- Crushed holiday Oreos
- Holiday sprinkles
Instructions
Preparation:
Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In a medium bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form an even crust. Refrigerate while preparing the other layers.
Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Layer
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.
- Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
Step 3: Make the Pudding Layer
- In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened.
- Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer.
Step 4: Add the Topping
- Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
- Sprinkle the top with crushed holiday Oreos and festive holiday sprinkles for decoration.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set.
- Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Chill thoroughly: Allow the dessert to set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours to ensure clean, defined layers.
- Use festive Oreos: Holiday-themed Oreos add color and a fun seasonal touch, but regular Oreos work just as well.
- Even layers: Use a spatula to spread each layer evenly for a polished look.
- Prep Time: 25 minutes (plus chilling time)
