  • Total Time: 2 hours (including chilling)
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • Crust Layer:
    • 1 package of regular Oreos (1 pound or 48 cookies; ½ reserved for top layer)
    • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • Cheesecake Layer:
    • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 8 oz cool whip (or any whipped topping)
  • Pudding Layer:
    • 1 small package chocolate pudding (3.9 ounces)
    • 1 small package vanilla pudding
    • 3¼ cups milk
  • Top Layer:
    • 8 oz cool whip
    • ¼ cup chocolate sauce

Instructions

Creating the Perfect Oreo Crust

  1. Prepare the Oreos: Start by adding the Oreos to a food processor and chopping them up finely. Remember to reserve ½ cup of the crushed Oreos for the top layer.
  2. Mix with Butter: Transfer the remaining crushed Oreos to a medium bowl and combine them with melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well-incorporated.
  3. Form the Crust: Press the Oreo-butter mixture evenly into a 9″x13″ baking dish using a spatula, ensuring a firm and compact base. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill for 20 minutes to set.

How to Make the Creamy Cheesecake Layer

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and 8 ounces of whipped topping.
  2. Mix Until Smooth: Use a hand mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Spread Over Crust: Evenly spread the cheesecake mixture over the chilled Oreo crust. Return to the refrigerator and chill for another 20 minutes.

Crafting the Delicious Pudding Layer

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In another large bowl, add cold milk, chocolate pudding mix, and vanilla pudding mix.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Use a hand mixer on a slow setting to blend until the pudding thickens, which should take about 2 minutes.
  3. Layer the Pudding: Evenly spread the pudding mixture over the cheesecake layer. Chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes or until the pudding is completely set.

Perfecting the Top Layer: Whipped Cream and Garnish

  1. Add the Final Layer: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
  2. Garnish: Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos on top and drizzle with chocolate sauce for a final touch.
  3. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate for at least one hour to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld together.
