Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the vanilla pudding with milk and chill until set.
- Layer crumbled Oreo cookies in the bottom of a 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan.
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Fold in the Cool Whip and chilled pudding mixture into the cream cheese and butter until well combined.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the crushed cookies in the pan.
- Garnish the top with additional crushed Oreos before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using double stuffed Oreo cookies. If you need a lighter version, you can substitute the Cool Whip with Greek yogurt. Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing. If you're short on time, use instant pudding instead of cooking it. This dessert can be made a day in advance for optimal chilling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Oreole Cookie Cake chilled, garnished with additional crushed Oreos for a delightful crunch. It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. This dessert is perfect for parties or potlucks and is sure to impress alongside other sweet treats like Classic Chocolate Layer Cake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain the texture, avoid freezing this cake as it may affect the creaminess of the pudding and Cool Whip mixture. Serve chilled straight from the fridge for the best experience.
