Ingredients

• 24 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
• 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix

2. Step 2: Spread the chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour the pudding evenly over the Oreos.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much surface as possible.

Tips & Variations

• For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans on top before baking.
• Use regular chocolate pudding mix instead of instant for a creamier texture, but allow more time to thicken.
• Try swapping the Oreos for your favorite sandwich cookies to change the flavor profile.
• If you prefer a dairy-free version, substitute with non-dairy milk, butter, and whipped topping alternatives.

Storage

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm individual portions in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or until heated through. The whipped topping is best added fresh before serving.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the dessert after baking.
2. Arrange Oreo Layer: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, forming the dessert’s base layer.
3. Make and Add Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour the thickened pudding evenly over the Oreo cookie layer to create a smooth, creamy middle layer.
4. Add Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Next, drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the cake mix, ensuring to cover as much of the surface as possible to help the cake bake into a crisp, golden topping.
5. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top layer is set and slightly crisp. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes to set slightly before serving.
6. Top and Serve: After cooling, spread 1 cup of whipped topping over the baked cake. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and garnish with extra Oreo cookies if desired. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

• You can substitute the whipped topping with freshly whipped cream for a less processed option.
• If you prefer a sweeter cake, add a few tablespoons of sugar to the pudding mixture.
• The mini chocolate chips are optional but add a nice texture contrast and extra chocolate flavor.
• This dessert is best enjoyed within 2 days and should be refrigerated once topped with whipped cream.
• To make this cake dairy-free, use dairy-free pudding mix, non-dairy milk, dairy-free butter, and a dairy-free whipped topping alternative.
