Oreo Icebox Dessert

By

love Oreos. Don't we all? Well, as much as I love them, I think I love them even more when they're surrounded by layers of pudding and whipped cream.
Like in this no-bake icebox dessert.
It looks innocent enough, right? Just some whipped cream with a sprinkling of crushed Oreos?
Ah, but then you cut in and reveal the delicious and devilish layers lurking inside! Creamy goodness. I love creamy goodness.

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 oz.) package Oreos, crushed
  • 6 T. butter, melted
  • 1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese, softened*
  • 1 c. confectioners' sugar
  • 1 large (5.1 oz.) box instant chocolate pudding* + milk to prepare, as specified on the pudding package
  • 1 large (16 oz.) container Cool Whip whipped topping*

Preparation

Step 1

1. Set aside about 1/4 cup crushed Oreos. Mix remaining crushed Oreos with the melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9x13" pan.

2. Combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar; mix well. Fold in 1/2 of the Cool Whip until well combined. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the crushed Oreo layer. Chill for 20 minutes.

3. Prepare chocolate pudding according to package directions. Spread over cream cheese layer. Chill for 20 minutes.

4. Spread remaining Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Sprinkle reserved crushed Oreos on top. Chill for 8 hours or overnight before serving.

*NOTE: I use 1/3-less-fat Neufchatel cream cheese, sugar-free instant pudding (the ounces on the package will be less), and lite Cool Whip. And it still tastes delicious!
