Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 20–25 Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 1 package chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup milk (half used for pudding)
- 1/2 cup Cool Whip
Raspberry Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup Cool Whip
Topping
- Remaining Cool Whip (approximately 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix thoroughly with the melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch Pyrex dish to form an even crust. Place the dish in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
- Make the Chocolate Pudding Layer: Prepare the chocolate pudding mix using half the recommended amount of milk (½ cup). Once thickened, gently fold in ½ cup of Cool Whip to create a light, creamy texture. Spread this layer evenly over the chilled crust. Return the dish to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Create the Raspberry Layer: In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the raspberries and 1 cup of Cool Whip, combining all ingredients without breaking the raspberries. Spread this mixture carefully over the chocolate pudding layer.
- Assemble the Top Layer: Spread the remaining Cool Whip (about ½ cup) over the raspberry layer as a final topping. Decorate as desired, using extra raspberries or chocolate shavings if preferred.
- Chill Before Serving: Cover the assembled dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing all layers to set and flavors to meld before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh raspberries, but frozen raspberries can be used after thawing and draining excess liquid.
- Press the Oreo crust firmly to prevent crumbling when serving.
- This dessert is best served chilled and should be kept refrigerated to maintain its texture.
- Can be prepared a day ahead to save time and for enhanced flavor blending.
- Use low-fat or sugar-free pudding and cream cheese for a lighter version of this dessert.
