No Bake Oreo Layer Dessert
Description
The No Bake Oreo Layer Dessert starts with an Oreo cookie crust, where crushed Double Stuff Oreos are combined with melted butter and pressed into a pan to form a firm base. Some crumbs are reserved for topping, adding a decorative crunch. The cream cheese layer is made by beating cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then folding in whipped topping until light and fluffy, creating a rich yet airy filling.
The pudding layer uses instant chocolate pudding mix combined with milk, which is spread over the cream cheese layer once set. The dessert is topped with additional whipped topping and reserved Oreo crumbs for texture and garnish. Chilling the assembled dessert allows the pudding to set and the layers to meld into a creamy, chocolatey treat with crunchy cookie bits providing contrast.
This dessert requires no baking and is convenient for making ahead. Its combination of smooth cream cheese, fluffy topping, and crisp Oreos offers varied textures. It serves well as a crowd-pleasing sweet at parties or family gatherings.
The dessert is typically portioned and nutritional information applies per serving. Refrigeration keeps it fresh and helps maintain structure until serving.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
- 15.35 ounce Oreo cookies Double Stuff variety
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounce whipped topping tub
For the Pudding Layer:
- 5.1 ounce instant chocolate pudding mix box
- 3 cups milk
For the Topping:
- 8 ounce whipped topping tub
Instructions
- Make the Crust: Place the Oreo cookies in a large ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin or mallet. The pieces should be in small crumbs, but still a little chunky, not completely fine crumbs. Set aside ½ cup of the crumbs for the topping, then transfer the remaining crumbs to a 9x13-inch pan and use a fork to mash them up a bit. Pour the melted butter over top and use the fork to combine, making sure that all of the crumbs are moistened. Press into an even layer on the bottom of the pan. Refrigerate while the cream cheese layer is prepared.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium-low and gradually add the powdered sugar until it is all incorporated. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 30 seconds. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the Cool Whip. Spread in an even layer over the crust. Refrigerate while the pudding layer is prepared.
- Make the Pudding Layer: In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow it to set. Use an offset spatula to spread the pudding in an even layer over the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread the remaining 8-ounce tub of Cool Whip on top and sprinkle with the reserved Oreo crumbs. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before serving.
