How to Make Oreo Delight – Step-by-Step

This is truly a no-stress recipe. Just layer, chill, and devour.

Step 1: Crush the Oreos

1. Use a food processor to crush the entire package of Oreos into crumbs.
2. No processor? Toss them in a large zip-top bag and use a rolling pin or meat mallet.
3. Reserve 1 cup of crumbs for the topping.

Step 2: Make the Oreo Crust

1. Mix the remaining Oreo crumbs with melted butter.
2. Press firmly into a 9×13-inch pan to form a cookie crust.
3. Place in the fridge while you prep the filling.

And Step 3: Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer

1. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth using a mixer.
2. Add powdered sugar and blend until creamy.
3. Fold in one container of whipped topping.
4. Spread over the crust.

Step 4: Mix the Chocolate Pudding

1. In a medium bowl, whisk pudding mix and cold milk until thickened.
2. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then spread over the cream cheese layer.

Step 5: Add Final Layers

1. Top the pudding layer with the second container of whipped topping.
2. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs on top.
3. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours (overnight is best!).
