Ingredients
  

  • 36 Mint Oreo cookies
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
  • as needed green gel food coloring
  • 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip), divided
  • 2 boxes (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold whole milk
  • 15 oz remaining whipped topping
  • optional mini chocolate chips or crushed Mint Oreos for garnish

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Food Processor
  • Mixing Bowls

Method
 

  1. Pulse Mint Oreos (including filling) in a food processor until finely crushed. Stir crumbs with melted butter. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread evenly over chilled crust.
  3. Whisk instant pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thick. Let sit 5 minutes, then spread evenly over mint layer.
  4. Spread remaining whipped topping over pudding layer. Smooth or create decorative swirls.
  5. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies if desired. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight.
  6. Slice with a sharp knife dipped in warm water, wiping clean between cuts. Serve cold.

Notes

For best results, chill at least 4–6 hours before slicing. Use instant pudding only—cook-and-serve will not set properly.
