Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 package (14 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos), finely crushed

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
8 oz whipped topping, thawed
1 cup pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates (M&M’s or similar)
½ cup mini chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos) for garnish

Directions

1. Make the Cookie Crust

Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. Reserve ½ cup of the crumbs for topping.

2. Mix the Creamy Layer

In a bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until fully blended.

3. Prepare the Pudding Layer

In another bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until thick. Gently fold in the whipped topping to create a light and fluffy texture.

4. Assemble the Casserole

In a 9×13-inch dish, spread half of the crushed cookies evenly and press them down slightly.
Spread the cream cheese layer over the cookies and smooth it out.
Next, spread the pudding mixture evenly on top.
Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs over the top.

5. Decorate & Chill

Scatter pastel-colored chocolates over the casserole.
Garnish with mini Oreos for extra crunch.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let the layers set.

6. Serve & Enjoy

Once chilled, slice and serve this creamy, crunchy, and festive Easter dessert!
