Ingredients
  

  • 1 package Oreo cookies Finely chopped
  • 1 package cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup sugar powdered
  • 2 package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2¾ cups cold milk
  • 1 container whipped topping like Cool Whip, thawed
  • 1 package Gummy worm

Instructions
 

  • Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor. If you don’t have one, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  • Beat the softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar together in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Whisk the pudding mix with the cold milk in another bowl. Do that for about 2 minutes, or until thickened.
  • Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and stir until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is uniform.
  • Spread a layer of crushed Oreos in the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish. Top with a layer of the pudding mixture. Continue layering, ending with a layer of cookie crumbs on top.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Right before serving, decorate with gummy worms or other fun toppings.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Let the cream cheese and butter soften completely for a smooth base.
  • Prefer chocolate? Use instant chocolate pudding instead of vanilla.
  • Add extra crunch by sprinkling cookie crumbs in the middle layers.
  • Serve in clear cups or mason jars for individual portions—great for parties.
