**Oreo Dessert**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 package of Oreo cookies
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 2 containers (8 oz each) frozen whipped topping, thawed
– 1 box (5.1 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
– 3 cups milk
– Chocolate shavings or additional Oreo cookies for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies. You can do this easily by placing the cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or using a food processor. Set aside about 1 cup of crushed cookies for later use as a topping.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the remaining crushed Oreo cookies. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layer.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
4. Fold in one container of whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust in the baking dish.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and slightly thickened. Let the pudding set for a few minutes to thicken further.
6. Pour the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer, spreading it out evenly.
7. Top the dessert with the remaining container of whipped topping, spreading it smoothly over the chocolate pudding layer.
8. Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreo cookies over the whipped topping as a final garnish. For an extra touch, you can add chocolate shavings or additional Oreo cookies on top.
9. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow all the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
10. When ready to serve, cut the Oreo Dessert into squares and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in every bite!
