Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 36 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping

Pudding Layers

  • 1 box instant vanilla pudding (3.4 oz)
  • 1 box instant chocolate pudding (3.4 oz)
  • 3 cups cold milk (1 1/2 cups milk per pudding box)
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping

Topping

  • Christmas sprinkles
  • Mini M&Ms or holiday candies

Instructions

  1. Make Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed Oreos with the melted unsalted butter until evenly coated. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan, creating a uniform crust layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator to set while preparing the other layers.
  2. Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping to lighten the mixture without deflating it. Spread this creamy layer evenly over the chilled Oreo crust and set aside.
  3. Make Puddings: Prepare each instant pudding mix separately following package instructions, using 1 1/2 cups cold milk per pudding. Whisk the chocolate pudding mix thoroughly and allow it to set briefly, then pour and spread it evenly over the cream cheese layer. Repeat the process with the vanilla pudding mix, layering it carefully on top of the chocolate pudding layer. Chill the layered puddings until they begin to firm up.
  4. Finish: Spread the remaining 1 1/2 cups whipped topping over the set pudding layers to create a fluffy, creamy topping. Decorate the top with Christmas sprinkles and mini M&Ms or your favorite holiday candies for a festive touch. Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld perfectly before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth, lump-free layer.
  • Press the Oreo crust firmly to ensure it holds together when sliced.
  • Use real whipped topping or homemade whipped cream for best texture and flavor.
  • Prepare the pudding layers separately to avoid mixing and maintain distinct flavors.
  • Chill the dessert well before serving to allow layers to firm up and slice easily.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead to save preparation time on the day of serving.
