Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies (classic variety)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip (or whipped cream)
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- Optional toppings: Gummy worms, mini chocolate chips, extra crushed Oreos, or candy
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Use a food processor or place the Oreos in a Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin until fine crumbs form. Set aside half of the crumbs for the topping and use the other half for the crust.
- Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the Cool Whip (or homemade whipped cream) and mix until light and fluffy.
- Prepare the Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix and milk together until it thickens (about 2-3 minutes). Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until fully combined.
- Assemble the Cake: Spread half of the crushed Oreos in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Pour the pudding mixture on top, spreading it evenly. Top with the remaining Oreo crumbs.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) to allow the layers to set.
- Serve: Top with optional garnishes like gummy worms, extra Oreos, or mini chocolate chips before serving.

- Dairy-free? Substitute with dairy-free cream cheese, butter, and whipped cream, and use a plant-based milk for the pudding.
