Oreo Dirt Cake Dessert (Print-Friendly Format)

Crushed Oreos and creamy pudding come together in layers for a sweet, easy-to-share dessert.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Base and Topping

01 - 397 grams Oreo sandwich cookies (approximately 14 ounces)

→ Cream Layer

02 - 57 grams unsalted butter, softened (4 tablespoons)
03 - 227 grams cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)
04 - 120 grams confectioners' sugar (1 cup)

→ Pudding Layer

05 - 830 millilitres cold whole milk (3 1/2 cups)
06 - 288 grams instant vanilla pudding mix (2 large boxes, 10.2 ounces total)

→ Whipped Topping

07 - 340 grams whipped topping, thawed (12 ounces, 1 1/2 small containers)

# How to Make It:

01 - Place Oreo sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed. Evenly distribute half of the crushed Oreos onto the bottom of an ungreased 23 x 33 cm baking dish. Set the remaining cookie crumbs aside.
02 - Using a hand mixer, combine the softened butter, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
03 - In a large separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until the pudding begins to thicken.
04 - Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture using a silicone spatula until integrated.
05 - Add the creamed butter and cream cheese mixture to the bowl with the pudding and whipped topping. Mix thoroughly until homogenous.
06 - Pour the completed creamy mixture over the crushed Oreos in the prepared baking dish. Spread gently to cover the base.
07 - Top with the reserved crushed Oreos, distributing evenly. Refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, or until fully set. For best flavour and texture, chill for 4 hours prior to serving.

# Additional Information:

01 - Begin with softened cream cheese and butter to ensure a lump-free, velvety mixture.
02 - For optimal taste and texture, allow the dessert to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
03 - Using larger boxes of instant vanilla pudding mix intensifies the vanilla flavour.
