Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo Base:
In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreos and set them aside. - Make the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In another bowl, beat together the softened butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. - Prepare the Pudding Mixture:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until well blended and thickened. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken further. - Combine Pudding and Topping:
Fold the whipped topping into the pudding mixture until well combined. - Layer the Dessert:
In a 9×13 inch casserole dish, layer half of the crushed Oreos to form the base. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo layer evenly. Then, carefully spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Top with the remaining crushed Oreos, covering the pudding layer completely. - Decorate:
Decorate the top with candy-coated chocolate eggs and optional gummy worms to create a fun Easter garden scene. - Chill:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set.
