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.
