Directions

1st Layer: Add whole Oreos to a food processor and pulse until crumbled evenly. Set aside one cup of the crushed Oreos for the topping. Mix the crushed Oreos with ½ cup of melted margarine or butter. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. Place it in the refrigerator to chill.
2nd Layer: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 8 ounces of Cool Whip, and 1 cup powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Spread this mixture over the chilled Oreo crust layer, then return the pan to the refrigerator.
3rd Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding, instant chocolate pudding, and 3 cups of cold milk. Stir until thickened. Spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer.
4th Layer: Spread the remaining 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos on top, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and optionally add chocolate curls or chopped candy for extra flair.

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set before serving.

How can I make this dessert dairy-free?

To make this dessert dairy-free, you can use dairy-free cream cheese, non-dairy Cool Whip, and a plant-based milk alternative like almond or coconut milk. Ensure the cookies you choose are dairy-free as well.

Is there an alternative to using Cool Whip?

If you don’t want to use Cool Whip, you can substitute it with homemade whipped cream. Just whip heavy cream with a little sugar until stiff peaks form.
