Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 20–25 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen raspberries based on availability; frozen raspberries should be thawed and drained.
- For a firmer crust, press the Oreo mixture firmly and ensure it is well chilled before adding layers.
- Chilling the dessert overnight will enhance flavor and texture.
- Optional toppings include chocolate shavings, additional berries, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
- This dessert is best served cold and consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
