Oreo Delight Ingredients
You will need:
- 50 Oreo cookies
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (room temperature)
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 (8 ounce) tubs Cool Whip
- 2 (3.4 ounce) packages (4-serving packs) instant chocolate pudding
- 2 ½ cups 2% milk
Substitutions and Additions
Confectioners’ Sugar: This is also known as powdered sugar or icing sugar. In a pinch, you could use two cups of granulated white sugar instead.
Cool Whip: If you can’t get hold of Cool Whip where you live, then take some cold heavy cream and whip it until it forms firm peaks.
Milk: Use 2% milk if you have it, but any other kind will work just fine.
How to Make This Oreo Delight Recipe
STEP ONE: Prepare a 9” x 13” baking dish.
STEP TWO: Use a food processor to crush Oreos until they are fine crumbs. Remove ¾ cup crushed Oreos and set these aside for toppings.
STEP THREE: Mix the remaining crushed Oreos with melted butter and stir to mix.
STEP FOUR: Press the Oreo and butter mixture into the bottom of the prepared dish. Pop this into the freezer for a few minutes while you prepare your next layer.
STEP FIVE: Beat together cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth.
STEP SIX: Beat in 1 package of Cool Whip (about 30 seconds – don’t overbeat) into the cream cheese mixture.
PRO TIP: Take care not to over-beat at this point.
STEP SEVEN: Carefully layer the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo Crust. Drop the cream cheese mixture evenly over the top of the crust so that it’s easier to spread out evenly. You don’t want to spread this out too much or you’ll start to pull up the Oreo base.
PRO TIP: Dollop the cream cheese mixture in a few places so that you can spread it out without disturbing the Oreo base.
STEP EIGHT: In a separate bowl, beat together milk and dry pudding mixtures. Beat about 2 minutes.
STEP NINE: Spread pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
STEP TEN: Spread the other package of Cool Whip over the top then sprinkle with the remaining Oreo crumbs.
STEP ELEVEN: Chill at least 6 hours before cutting.
STEP TWELVE: Store leftovers in the fridge in a sealed food storage container for 4-5 days.
