Ingredients

12 oz milk chocolate chips, divided
3 1/2 cups milk
1 package Oreos (14.3 oz, chocolate cream recommended)
16 oz cream cheese, divided (room temperature)
1 box Instant Vanilla Pudding (3.4 oz)
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 box Instant Chocolate Pudding (3.4 oz)
12 oz whipped topping

Instructions

Step 1: In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until they become smooth crumbs. Set aside.
Step 2: In a small bowl, combine half of the chocolate chips (6 oz) with 1/4 cup milk.
Step 3: Microwave the mixture until the chocolate chips melt, stirring until smooth. Let it cool.
Step 4: Spread one-third of the crushed Oreos evenly on the bottom of a 9×13 pan and press down with a fork to create an even layer.
Step 5: For the peanut butter layer, beat 8 oz cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth. Add the vanilla pudding mix and peanut butter, blending until smooth. Slowly pour in 1 3/4 cups milk and continue mixing. Spread this mixture over the Oreo crumb layer.
Step 6: Spread another one-third of the Oreo crumbs on top of the peanut butter layer.
Step 7: For the chocolate layer, beat the remaining 8 oz cream cheese until smooth. Add the chocolate pudding mix, cooled chocolate sauce from step 3, and 1 1/2 cups milk. Beat until fully combined. Spread this over the Oreo crumb layer.
Step 8: Spread the last one-third of the Oreo mixture over the chocolate layer.
Step 9: Evenly spread the whipped topping over the final Oreo layer.
Step 10: Optionally, garnish with chocolate chips, shaved chocolate, peanuts, or your favorite toppings for extra texture and flavor.
Step 11: Refrigerate the pan for 4-6 hours to allow the dessert to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Use chocolate cream Oreos for deeper chocolate flavor; vanilla cream Oreos can work for a lighter taste.
Room temperature cream cheese blends more smoothly into the pudding layers.
Try swapping peanut butter for almond butter for a different nutty twist.
Adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.

Storage

Store this dessert covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled to maintain the layers’ texture and freshness. When ready to serve, no reheating is needed—just slice and enjoy cold for the best taste and consistency.

How to Serve

A square dessert with three clear layers sits on two stacked white plates, placed on a wooden table with a white marbled surface in the background. The bottom layer is light beige and firm, the middle layer is a thick, smooth, dark brown chocolate cream, and the top layer is white whipped cream sprinkled with small dark chocolate crumbs, large chocolate chips, and small pieces of nuts. Next to the dessert on the plates is a silver fork. In the blurred background, a larger piece of the same layered dessert is visible in a tray and another piece is on a white plate.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute Oreos with other chocolate sandwich cookies or even crushed graham crackers for a different texture and flavor.

Is it necessary to chill the dessert for 4-6 hours?

Chilling is important as it allows the pudding layers to fully set and for the flavors to meld, giving you the best texture and taste experience.

Instructions

Crush Oreos: In a food processor, pulse the entire package of Oreos until they become fine crumbs. Set these crumbs aside for layering.

Notes

Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing without lumps.
Chocolate cream Oreos are recommended for richer flavor, but any Oreo variety can be used.
The dessert must chill for at least 4 hours to set properly; overnight chilling enhances flavor melding.
Substitute peanut butter with almond or other nut butters for variation.
For softer chocolate topping, ensure the melted chocolate has cooled before mixing with pudding.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
