Ingredients

• 24 pieces chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 3.9 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
• 3.5 cups milk
• 12 ounces frozen whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. Set aside. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand or stand mixer until smooth.

Step 3

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, and beat until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, prepare the instant chocolate pudding by whisking the pudding mix with the milk for about 2 minutes, until it thickens. Let sit for 5 minutes to fully set.

Step 5

Fold half of the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain.

Step 6

Gently fold the prepared pudding into the cream cheese mixture, creating a smooth, creamy filling.

Step 7

In a serving dish (such as a trifle dish or 9x13-inch pan), layer one-third of the cookie crumbs on the bottom.

Step 8

Spread half of the pudding mixture over the cookie crumbs to create an even layer.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process: one-third of the cookie crumbs, the remaining pudding mixture, and finish with the last third of the cookie crumbs on top as a garnish.

Step 10

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to let the flavors meld and the dessert set.

Step 11

Serve chilled, and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey delight!
