Ingredients:

For the Crust:

15.35 ounces (435.17 g) Double Stuff Oreo Cookies
½ cup (113.5 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

For the Cream Cheese Layer:

8 ounces (226.8 g) cream cheese
1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
8 ounces (226.8 g) tub Cool Whip

For the Pudding Layer:

5.1 ounces (144.58 g) box instant chocolate pudding mix
3 cups (854 ml) milk

For the Topping:

8 ounces (226.8 g) tub Cool Whip
Reserved Oreo crumbs or additional whole Oreos for garnish

Instructions:

Make the Crust:
- Place Oreo cookies in a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or mallet until you get small crumbs. Set aside ½ cup of the crumbs for the topping.
- Transfer the remaining crumbs to a 9×13-inch pan, pour the melted butter over the top, and mix with a fork until all crumbs are moistened. Press into an even layer and refrigerate while you prepare the next layers.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the Cool Whip and spread the mixture evenly over the Oreo crust. Refrigerate again while you make the pudding layer.
Make the Pudding Layer:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Let the pudding sit for about 5 minutes to set.
- Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Final Topping:
- Spread the remaining tub of Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs or garnish with whole Oreo cookies on top.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best results.

Conclusion:

This no-bake Oreo layer dessert is a delightful combination of textures and flavors, with the creaminess of the cheesecake and pudding layers perfectly complementing the crunch of the Oreo crust. It’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, especially for Oreo enthusiasts!
