Ingredients
Scale
Crust Layer
- 24 Oreos, crushed
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 2 packets (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
Peppermint Topping
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
- 1/2 cup whipped topping for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Combine the crushed Oreos and melted butter in a bowl until well mixed. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing other layers.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
- Prepare Chocolate Pudding: In another bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mixes with cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Add Peppermint Topping: Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies evenly over the pudding layer. Top with dollops of whipped topping for garnish, if desired.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- For a stronger peppermint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the cream cheese layer.
- Use full-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for the creamiest texture.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead; it improves in flavor after chilling overnight.
- To make it gluten-free, substitute gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies for the Oreos.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
