Ingredients
20 chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos), crushed
1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
1 3/4 cups cold milk
1 (8 oz) container whipped topping, thawed
Extra crushed cookies for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk for about 2 minutes, until it begins to thicken.
- Combine the pudding mixture with the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully blended and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping until no streaks remain.
- Spoon a layer of crushed cookies into individual dessert cups or small jars, followed by a layer of the cream mixture. Repeat the layers once more.
- Top with extra crushed cookies.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the dessert to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
For best texture, chill for 2–3 hours if time allows.
Add the final cookie topping just before serving to maintain crunch.
Chocolate pudding can be substituted for vanilla for a richer flavor.
Homemade stabilized whipped cream may replace whipped topping.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
