how to make Heavenly Oreo Dessert

Make the crust first by crushing Oreos and mixing them with melted butter. Press this into a 9×13 inch pan. Beat the cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth, fold in cool whip, and spread it over the crust. Whisk the chocolate pudding with milk until it thickens, then pour over the cream cheese layer. Top with the remaining cool whip. Chill the dessert for at least 3 hours so layers set well. Slice and serve cold.

Ingredients :

• 2 packs of Oreo cookies
• 1/2 cup butter (melted)
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 cups cool whip
• 2 packs of chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz each)
• 4 cups milk

Directions :

1. Crush the Oreo cookies and mix with melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan.
2. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in 1 cup of cool whip and spread over the Oreo layer.
3. In another bowl, whisk chocolate pudding mix with milk until thickened. Pour over the cream cheese layer.
4. Top with remaining cool whip and chill for at least 3 hours before serving.

how to serve Heavenly Oreo Dessert

Cut into squares and serve chilled. Add extra crushed Oreos or a drizzle of chocolate on top for a nicer look. Use a sharp knife wiped between cuts for clean slices.

how to store Heavenly Oreo Dessert

Cover the pan with plastic wrap or a lid and keep in the refrigerator. It stays good for 3 to 4 days. Do not freeze; the cream and pudding textures change when frozen.

tips to make Heavenly Oreo Dessert

• Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth mix.
• Press the crust firmly so it holds together.
• Whisk pudding mix and milk until fully thickened to avoid runny layers.
• Chill at least 3 hours or overnight for best slicing.
• Use a glass pan to check the layers while pressing and pouring.

variation (if any)

• Add a layer of sliced bananas between the cream cheese and pudding for a banana-chocolate twist.
• Swap chocolate pudding with vanilla for a lighter flavor.
• Use whipped cream instead of cool whip if you prefer fresh cream.

FAQs

Q: Can I use low-fat ingredients?
A: Yes. Use low-fat cream cheese and cool whip light. The texture may be a bit softer but it will still taste good.

Q: Can I make this ahead of time?
A: Yes. Make it a day ahead and keep it chilled. It often tastes better after resting.

Q: Can I make individual servings?
A: Yes. Layer the crust, cream, and pudding in small cups or jars for single servings.

Q: What if I do not have a 9×13 pan?
A: Use a similar-size pan or two smaller pans. Adjust layers evenly.
