Ingredients
Scale
Crust and Topping
- 48 vanilla Oreo cookies, divided
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles, divided
Cream Cheese Layer
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping
- ½ tablespoon holiday sprinkles
Pudding Layer
- 1 package (3.4 ounces) cheesecake instant pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- ½ tablespoon holiday sprinkles
Topping
- 1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Dish: Optionally line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to make slicing easier later on.
- Crush Cookies for Crust: Crush 36 vanilla Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
- Make Cookie Crust: In a large bowl, mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter until well combined.
- Add Sprinkles and Press Crust: Stir in ½ tablespoon of holiday sprinkles into the cookie mixture, then press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
- Beat Cream Cheese Mixture: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Whipped Topping and Sprinkles: Gently fold one container of whipped topping and ½ tablespoon holiday sprinkles into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Spread Cream Cheese Layer: Evenly spread this creamy mixture over the pressed cookie crust layer in the baking dish.
- Prepare Pudding Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cheesecake instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth. Let it set for 3 minutes to firm up slightly.
- Mix Sprinkles into Pudding and Layer: Stir in the remaining ½ tablespoon holiday sprinkles into the pudding, then spread this pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Add Whipped Topping Layer: Spread the remaining container of whipped topping over the pudding layer evenly.
- Decorate with Crushed Cookies and Sprinkles: Crush the remaining 12 Oreo cookies and sprinkle them along with the last of the holiday sprinkles evenly on top of the whipped topping layer.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the completed dessert for at least 4 hours or freeze it before slicing and serving to allow layers to set properly.
Notes
- For easier slicing, use parchment paper to line your baking dish before assembling the layers.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the cheese layer.
- Allow the pudding to set fully for the best texture in the layered dessert.
- This dessert can be made up to one day in advance and kept refrigerated.
- Freezing the dessert will firm it up faster but may require thawing slightly before serving.
