Ingredients

Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 20 Oreo Cookies (classic or Easter-themed)
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

Optional Mix-Ins and Toppings

  • Mini chocolate eggs
  • Pastel sprinkles
  • Sliced strawberries or raspberries (for variation)
  • Chopped toasted nuts (pecans or almonds)
  • Chocolate ganache (for chocolate lovers’ twist)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes, resulting in a smooth and creamy base for your casserole.
  2. Crush the Oreos: Place Oreo cookies in a plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or your hands into bite-sized pieces, leaving some larger chunks to create texture contrast.
  3. Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped topping into the prepared pudding mixture to lighten the texture and create a fluffy, airy filling.
  4. Layer the Ingredients: In a large clear glass casserole dish, alternate layers beginning with crushed Oreos, then a thick layer of the pudding and whipped topping mixture. Repeat until all ingredients are used, finishing with a sprinkle of crushed Oreos or festive toppings like mini chocolate eggs or sprinkles.
  5. Chill and Serve: Cover the casserole with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and pudding to set. Serve chilled and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use cold milk to ensure the instant pudding thickens perfectly and quickly.
  • Fold whipped topping gently to maintain a light and fluffy texture.
  • Mix cookie sizes by combining fine crumbs with larger chunks for better texture contrast.
  • Chill the casserole thoroughly; the longer it chills, the firmer and more flavorful it becomes.
  • Add colorful pastel sprinkles or mini eggs just before serving for festive presentation.
