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 (divided: 1 1/2 cups for each pudding)

Finishing Touches

  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping
  • Christmas sprinkles
  • Mini M&Ms or holiday candies

Instructions

  1. Make Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies finely until they resemble coarse crumbs. In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with melted unsalted butter, mixing thoroughly to create a moist, sand-like texture.
  2. Press Crust: Press the Oreo and butter mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan to form the crust layer. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill and set while preparing the next layer.
  3. Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 1/2 cups of whipped topping until well combined and fluffy.
  4. Spread Cream Cheese Layer: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the chilled Oreo crust in the baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Make Pudding Layers: Prepare each pudding according to package instructions by whisking each pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups cold milk. Allow the puddings to set briefly until thickened.
  6. Layer Puddings: Pour and spread the chocolate pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer first, followed by the vanilla pudding layer, creating two distinct pudding layers.
  7. Add Whipped Topping and Decorations: Spread the remaining 1 1/2 cups whipped topping evenly over the top pudding layer. Decorate the surface with Christmas sprinkles and mini M&Ms or holiday candies for a festive look.
  8. Chill Dessert: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the completed dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for a richer texture.
  • Allow the pudding to fully set before layering to prevent mixing of layers.
  • This dessert is best served chilled and can be kept refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • You can substitute holiday candies with any festive toppings as desired.
