Ingredients

  • 20-25 Oreo cookies
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 package chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk (for pudding)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for raspberry layer)
  • 1/2 cup Cool Whip (for chocolate layer)
  • 1 cup Cool Whip (for raspberry layer)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies finely and mix them with the melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch Pyrex dish and place it in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package instructions, using only half (1/2 cup) of the milk called for. Once set, gently fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip until smooth. Spread this mixture evenly over the Oreo crust and freeze for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla extract until creamy. Fold in the raspberries and 1 cup of Cool Whip, mixing gently to combine. Spread this raspberry layer evenly over the chilled chocolate pudding layer.
  4. Step 4: Top the raspberry layer with the remaining Cool Whip. You can decorate the top with extra raspberries or chocolate shavings if desired.
  5. Step 5: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to set properly before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For a crunchier crust, use freshly crushed Oreos just before layering. You can also substitute the Oreos with chocolate wafer cookies for a different flavor.
  • Swap fresh raspberries for frozen ones, but thaw and drain them well to avoid excess moisture in the dessert.
  • Add a tablespoon of raspberry jam to the cream cheese layer for extra fruity sweetness.
  • Use dark chocolate pudding for a richer chocolate flavor.

Storage

Store this dessert covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s best served chilled, so keep it refrigerated until ready to serve. If you need to store it longer, freeze it tightly wrapped for up to 1 month and thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

FAQs

Can I use homemade chocolate pudding instead of mix?

Yes, homemade chocolate pudding works well in this recipe and can add a richer, fresher flavor. Just be sure it’s thickened and cooled before folding in the Cool Whip.

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Absolutely. In fact, making this dish a day in advance allows the layers to set perfectly and the flavors to meld. Just keep it refrigerated until serving.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 2025 Oreo cookies, crushed
  • 6 tablespoons butter, melted

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 1 package chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup milk (use 1/2 cup for pudding preparation)
  • 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 (amount used on top layer)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base layer: Crush 20-25 Oreo cookies finely and combine with 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch Pyrex dish. Place the dish in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the crust.
  2. Make the chocolate pudding layer: Prepare the chocolate pudding by mixing the package with 1/2 cup of milk (half of the total milk amount). Once the pudding is set, fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip gently to create a creamy texture. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust and return the dish to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
  3. Create the raspberry layer: In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in 1/2 cup raspberries carefully to maintain texture and then fold in 1 cup of Cool Whip to lighten the mixture. Spread this raspberry cream layer evenly over the chocolate pudding layer.
  4. Assemble the top layer: Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the raspberry layer as the final topping. Decorate the top as desired using additional raspberries or chocolate shavings.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld. Slice into squares and serve chilled for the best taste experience.
