Oreo Delight
Description
Oreo Delight begins with a dense brownie base made from a boxed mix, baked in a 9x13 pan. Over this, a smooth layer of cream cheese blended with confectioners' sugar and whipped topping is spread, providing a creamy contrast to the chocolatey dense crust. Half of the chopped Oreo cookies are scattered atop for added texture. The pudding layer combines instant chocolate pudding mix and milk, mixed with the remaining Oreo chunks to create a rich, thick filling that sets in the refrigerator. The layered combination offers varied textures from fudgy to creamy to crunchy.
The dessert is served chilled after assembly, making it a refreshing and rich sweet suitable for occasions that call for a make-ahead indulgence. The Oreo pieces embedded throughout add a familiar chocolate cookie crunch alongside the soft cream and pudding. This treat requires refrigeration to let the pudding set properly and soften the brownie slightly for an enjoyable slice.
Store the dish covered in the refrigerator for up to one week. Over time, the brownie and Oreo pieces will soften further, so serving it within the first few days ensures the best texture contrast. The recipe is adapted from Betty Crocker to balance ease and layered flavors effectively.
Ingredients
- brownie mix plus ingredients called for to make the brownies, one 20-ounce box
- cream cheese softened (I used lite
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- whipped topping thawed; divided (I used fat free, one 12-ounce tub
- 30 Oreo cookies coarsely chopped; divided
- instant chocolate pudding mix two 3.9-ounce boxes
- 3 cups milk use real milk, I used 2%; non-dairy or nut/soy-based milks will not work and pudding won't set, cold
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325F (or 350F is that's what's called for on your box of brownie mix), line a 9x13-inch pan with foil for easier cleanup, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
- Mix up the brownie batter according to the ingredients called for on the package (egg(s), oil, water), turn the batter out into prepared pan, and bake for about 26 to 30 minutes, or until brownies are cooked through; set brownies aside to cool.
- To a large bowl, add the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, and beat on medium speed with a handheld electric mixer until smooth and combined.
- Add half the tub of whipped topping and beat to incorporate until smooth and combined.
- Turn the cream cheese mixture out over the brownies in an even flat layer, smoothing lightly with a spatula as necessary.
- Evenly sprinkle half the chopped Oreos over the cream cheese layer; set pan aside.
- To a large bowl (same one from the cream cheese and whipped topping layer is fine, just wipe it out with a paper towel), add the chocolate pudding mix, milk, and beat on medium-high speed with a handheld electric mixer for 2 minutes. Allow pudding to rest for about 5 minutes; it will thicken up dramatically.
- Evenly turn the pudding out over the Oreo layer.
- Evenly add the remaining half tub of whipped topping.
- Evenly sprinkle the remaining half of the Oreos. Cover and refrigerate for at least 90 minutes, or until chilled and set.
Notes
- Keep the dessert covered and chilled; it will stay fresh for up to one week.
- Refrigeration softens brownie and Oreo layers over time, so plan to serve within a few days for a better texture contrast.
- This recipe uses a boxed brownie mix and instant pudding mixes for convenience without compromising flavor layering.
