Oreo Dirt Cake Dessert (Print)

Creamy pudding and cream cheese meet crushed Oreos and Cool Whip for the ultimate chilled treat.

# Ingredients:

→ Base and Topping

01 - 397 grams Oreo sandwich biscuits

→ Cream Layer

02 - 57 grams unsalted butter, softened
03 - 227 grams cream cheese, softened
04 - 120 grams confectioners' sugar

→ Pudding Layer

05 - 830 millilitres cold whole milk
06 - 289 grams instant vanilla pudding mix

→ Finishing Touch

07 - 340 grams whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed

# Steps:

01 - Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Evenly distribute half of the crumbs on the bottom of an ungreased 23 x 33 cm baking dish. Reserve the remaining crumbs for topping.
02 - In a mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat together softened butter, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar until light and smooth.
03 - In a separate large bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens—about 2 minutes.
04 - Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture using a spatula until fully integrated.
05 - Add spoonfuls of the cream cheese mixture into the pudding base and stir until the blend becomes completely smooth and uniform.
06 - Pour the creamy filling over the Oreo crumb base in the baking dish, using a spatula to spread it evenly.
07 - Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs evenly across the top of the creamy layer.
08 - Cover and chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, ideally 4 hours, to allow layers to set and flavors to develop.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure the butter and cream cheese are thoroughly softened to achieve a smooth, lump-free blend.
02 - A longer chilling time enhances the flavor and texture; for best results, refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
03 - Using large boxes of instant pudding delivers a more robust vanilla flavor throughout the dessert.
