🛒 Ingredients:
1 package (14.3 oz) Easter (pastel) Oreo cookies, crushed (reserve some for topping)
1/2 cup melted butter
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
8 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip), divided
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 1/2 cups cold milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pastel-colored M&M’s or mini chocolate eggs (optional)
Sprinkles or Easter candy for garnish
👩🍳 Directions:
Make the crust:
Combine crushed Oreos (reserve 1/2 cup for topping) with melted butter in a bowl. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish to form a crust. Place in the fridge to chill while you prep the filling.
Creamy layer:
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and mix well. Fold in half of the whipped topping until combined. Spread this over the chilled crust.
Pudding layer:
In another bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract until thickened (about 2 minutes). Spread this pudding over the cream cheese layer.
Top it off:
Gently spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos, pastel M&M’s or eggs, and festive sprinkles on top.
Chill:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Slice and serve cold!
⏱ Time: 20 min prep | 4 hours chill
