Description

Oreo Layered Delight is a luxurious dessert comprised of multiple layers of heavenly goodness. Each layer offers a symphony of flavors and textures, from the crunchy Oreo cookie crust to the smooth and creamy layers of cream cheese, pudding, and whipped topping. Topped with crushed Oreos and chocolate drizzle, this dessert is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds, offering a perfect balance of sweetness and richness in every bite.


Ingredients

Cake:
1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)
Pudding Layer:
30 Oreos, crushed
12.8 oz hot fudge sauce
3.4 oz package of instant chocolate pudding mix
1 3/4 cups milk
Topping:
3.4 oz package of instant chocolate pudding mix
1 3/4 cups milk
8 oz Cool Whip, thawed


Instructions

Prepare Cake:
Bake the cake according to package instructions in a 9×13 baking pan. Allow to cool for 10 minutes after baking.
Poke holes evenly across the cake using the back of a spoon.
Warm the hot fudge sauce until pourable, then evenly cover the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. Let the cake fully cool.
Pudding Layer:
Whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and 1 3/4 cups of milk until smooth.
Before it sets, pour evenly over the cooled cake.
Chill in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set.
Topping:
In a separate bowl, combine the second pudding mix package with another 1 3/4 cups of milk. Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes.
Fold the thawed Cool Whip into the set pudding, then stir in about three-quarters of the crushed Oreos.
Spread this mixture over the chilled pudding layer on the cake.
Sprinkle the remaining crushed Oreos on top.
Refrigerate until ready to serve, or serve immediately.
Note: For best flavor, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  1. Ingredient Quality: Use high-quality ingredients for the best results. Opt for fresh cream cheese, premium pudding mix, and your favorite brand of whipped topping for optimal flavor and texture.
  2. Layering Technique: Take your time when layering the ingredients to ensure even distribution and a visually appealing presentation. Use a spatula to spread each layer evenly and avoid mixing the layers together.
  3. Chilling Time: Allow the dessert to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. This allows the layers to set and the flavors to meld together for a perfectly indulgent treat.
  4. Serving Suggestions: Garnish the finished dessert with additional crushed Oreos, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for an extra touch of elegance. Serve chilled for the best taste experience.
  5. Customize to Taste: Feel free to customize the dessert to your liking by experimenting with different Oreo flavors or adding additional layers such as caramel or peanut butter for a unique twist.
