Ingredients

Scale

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 for puddings)
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping

Topping

  • Christmas sprinkles
  • Mini M&Ms or holiday candies

Instructions

  1. Make Crust: Finely crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or by hand until they resemble fine crumbs. In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the melted unsalted butter and mix well to create a crumbly, wet mixture. Press this mixture firmly and 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 you prepare the other layers.
  2. Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping to lighten the mixture. Spread this cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled Oreo crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
  3. Make Puddings: Prepare the instant vanilla and chocolate puddings by mixing each box with 1 1/2 cups cold milk separately as per package instructions. Stir each until thickened and set briefly in the refrigerator. In the assembled pan, spoon the chocolate pudding layer first over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly. Follow this by layering the vanilla pudding over the chocolate layer.
  4. Finish: Spread the remaining 1 1/2 cups whipped topping evenly over the top pudding layer. Decorate the dessert with Christmas sprinkles and mini M&Ms or holiday candies for a festive touch. Return the dessert to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow all layers to set and meld together.

Notes

  • For best results, chill the dessert overnight to allow the layers to fully set and flavors to meld.
  • You can substitute mini peppermint candies or crushed candy canes for a minty holiday flavor.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and pudding for a richer texture and taste.
  • Be careful not to overmix the pudding to maintain a light, creamy consistency.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and kept refrigerated until serving.
