Tips & Substitutions
For a more indulgent flavor, consider using double-stuffed Oreos. If you want a lighter version, substitute low-fat cream cheese and sugar-free pudding. To crush Oreos quickly, use a food processor. Make sure to let the crust cool completely before adding the pudding layer to avoid melting the Cool Whip. This dessert can be made a day ahead to enhance the flavors.

How can I make this recipe dairy-free?
To make this Oreo Delight dairy-free, substitute the butter with a dairy-free alternative, like coconut oil or vegan butter. Use dairy-free cream cheese and a plant-based pudding mix. Check the ingredients of the Cool Whip, or use a dairy-free whipped topping instead.
