Ingredients
Scale
- 20 Oreo cookies
- 1 box (3.9 oz / 110 g) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups (480 ml) cold milk
- 4 oz (113 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 ml) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
- Extra Oreo cookies for garnish
- Optional toppings: mini Oreos, chocolate shavings, or crushed Oreos
Instructions
- Crumb Creation: Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine granules using a food processor or by sealing in a bag and crushing with a rolling pin, creating a delicate cookie base.
- Pudding Preparation: Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until the mixture transforms into a thick, silky chocolate emulsion with a glossy, uniform texture.
- Cream Cheese Fusion: Blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth, then fold in whipped topping to achieve a light, airy cream cheese mixture.
- Layer Assembly: In clear serving glasses, establish a foundational layer of Oreo crumbs, providing a crunchy textural element to the dessert.
- Creamy Stratification: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie crumbs, ensuring complete coverage and a luxurious smooth surface.
- Chocolate Infusion: Cascade the rich chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer, creating a tantalizing contrast of flavors and textures.
- Decorative Finishing: Top each pudding cup with a billowing swirl of whipped topping, then embellish with additional crushed Oreos or a whole mini Oreo for visual appeal.
- Chilling Sequence: Refrigerate the assembled desserts for at least one hour, allowing the layers to set and the flavors to harmonize into a perfectly chilled, indulgent treat.
Notes
- Crush Oreos Precisely: Use a food processor or sealed bag method for consistent, fine crumbs that create a uniform base texture.
- Whisk Pudding Carefully: Vigorous whisking prevents lumps and ensures a smooth, creamy chocolate pudding consistency.
- Layer Strategically: Build layers gently to maintain distinct texture boundaries between cookie crumbs, cream cheese, and pudding.
- Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow flavors to blend and layers to set, enhancing overall taste and texture.
