How to make this No Bake Oreo dessert

Step 1 | Prepare the Oreo Cookie Crust

Prepare the crust by crushing Oreos in a food processor, with mostly fine crumbs, leaving a few big chunks for some texture.

You can also simply put the cookies in a baggie and use a rolling pin to turn into a crumble. Also, reserve some of the crushed cookies to use as a topping.

Combine the crushed Oreos with melted butter, then press the crust into the bottom of your baking dish. Refrigerate for later.

Step 2 | Make Homemade Cool Whip

Using a wire whisk, or whisk attachment whip the heavy cream, either with a stand or hand mixer, until you see soft peaks begin to form. Turn the mixer to low and incorporate small amounts of powdered sugar* at a time.

Add the vanilla extract and continue whisking until the stiff peaks form. Transfer to the fridge until it is needed during the next step.

Step 3 | Make the Cream Cheese Layer

In a separate mixing bowl, beat your room temperature cream cheese. Once it becomes light and fluffy, add up to ¼ – ½ cup of powdered sugar and continue beating until it has a smooth, pillowy texture. Gently fold in half of the whipped cream with a rubber spatula until well combined.

Using an offset spatula, spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled Oreo crust, then return it to the refrigerator.

Step 4 | Chocolate Pudding Layer

Now prepare the creamy chocolate pudding. Pour milk and instant pudding into a large bowl and whisk — I like to use my mixer for this step as well.

Once combined, let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken, then spread it over the whipped cream (aka homemade Cool Whip) layer.

Step 5 | Final layer and finishing touches

Finally, spread the remaining homemade Cool Whip on top and sprinkle with leftover cookie crumbs. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

If desired, break up a few more Oreo cookies to spread along with the leftover crumbs, or try adding some white and or dark chocolate shavings to the top as well.

Ta-da! A gorgeous, feed a crowd, make-ahead, no-bake Oreo dessert pudding you and your guests will love!

• Use white chocolate pudding, vanilla pudding, butterscotch and others in place of the chocolate pudding. Using chocolate pudding gives it a chocolate cream pie flavor.
