Ingredients

Scale

For the Layers

  • 1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed

For the Topping

  • 1 cup pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates (such as M&M’s)
  • ½ cup mini Oreo cookies

Instructions

  1. Crush the cookies
    Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
  2. Make the cream cheese mixture
    In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and fluffy.
  3. Prepare the pudding
    In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk for about 2 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken.
  4. Combine the filling
    Add the prepared pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and beat until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated and light in texture.
  5. Assemble the casserole
    Spread half of the crushed Oreo crumbs evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch casserole dish. Spread the creamy pudding mixture evenly over the crumbs.
  6. Add the final cookie layer
    Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreo crumbs evenly on top of the pudding layer.
  7. Decorate
    Top with pastel candy-coated chocolates and mini Oreo cookies for a festive Easter-themed finish.
  8. Chill
    Cover the casserole and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving so the layers can set and the flavors blend together.

Notes

  1. Make sure the cream cheese and butter are fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
  2. Chill the dessert long enough for the layers to firm up this improves both texture and flavor.
  3. For the neatest slices, use a chilled knife and wipe it clean between servings.
