Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 20–25 Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Chocolate Layer
- 1 package chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup milk (use 1/2 cup for pudding)
- 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 not specified but assumed 1 cup total needed for top as per instruction)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and mix them thoroughly with the melted butter. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch Pyrex dish to form an even crust layer. Freeze the crust for 10 minutes to set.
- Make the chocolate pudding layer: Prepare the chocolate pudding mix using half the recommended milk amount (1/2 cup). Gently fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip to lighten the pudding. Spread this chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Freeze again for 10 to 15 minutes to let it set.
- Create the raspberry layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Carefully fold in the fresh or frozen raspberries and 1 cup of Cool Whip to create a light and fruity layer. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate pudding layer.
- Assemble and top: Spread the remaining Cool Whip over the raspberry layer as the final topping. Decorate as desired (e.g., with extra raspberries or chocolate shavings if preferred).
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the fully assembled dessert for at least 4 hours to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Freezing between layers helps them set firmly and maintain distinct layers.
- If using frozen raspberries, thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing to avoid a watery layer.
- This dessert is best served chilled and kept refrigerated until served.
- You can decorate the top with additional Oreo crumbs, raspberries, or chocolate shavings for extra presentation appeal.
- Using an 8×8 Pyrex dish ensures the layers are well balanced.
