Ingredients

• 1 package of regular Oreos

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 ¾ cups milk

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• 9 x 13 cake pan
• Small bowl
• Large bowl
• Electric mixer
• Rubber spatula

Preparation

1. Crust Creation: Start by crushing the Oreos. You can do this with a rolling pin or in a food processor. Reserve about 1 cup of these crumbs for the topping.
2. Mixing Crumbs and Butter: In a small bowl, combine the remaining Oreo crumbs with the melted butter. Mix well until all crumbs are coated.
3. Forming the Base: Transfer this mixture into your 9 x 13 cake pan. Press it down firmly to form a solid, even crust. This will be the base of your Oreo Delight.
4. Pudding Preparation: Prepare the chocolate pudding as per the package directions. Then, allow it to set in the fridge. This will be your third layer.
5. Cream Cheese Layer: Using an electric mixer, blend half of the cool whip, softened cream cheese, and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
6. Layering: Spread the cool whip, cream cheese, and sugar mixture over the Oreo crust evenly. Next, gently spread the set pudding over this layer.
7. Final Touch: Finish with the remaining cool whip, spreading it over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs on top for a delightful finish.
