Crust
- 36 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping
Pudding Layers
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding (3.4 oz)
- 1 box instant chocolate pudding (3.4 oz)
- 3 cups cold milk (divided: 1 1/2 cups for each pudding)
Topping
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping
- Christmas sprinkles
- Mini M&Ms or holiday candies
- Make Crust: Finely crush the Oreo cookies using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Combine the crushed Oreos with melted unsalted butter until well mixed. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan to form the crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the other layers.
- Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract, and continue beating until creamy and combined. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping to keep the mixture light and fluffy. Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust in the pan.
- Make Puddings: Prepare the instant chocolate pudding mix by whisking it with 1 1/2 cups of cold milk until it thickens. Do the same with the vanilla pudding mix and the other 1 1/2 cups of cold milk. Allow both puddings to set briefly in the refrigerator. Once set, carefully spoon the chocolate pudding layer over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly, then layer the vanilla pudding over the chocolate layer similarly.
- Finish: Spread 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping evenly over the top pudding layer. Decorate with Christmas sprinkles and mini M&Ms or holiday candies for a festive touch. Cover and chill the dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow all layers to set and the flavors to meld before serving.
