Ingredients

1 (14.3-ounce) package Oreos
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 (16-ounce) tub whipped topping (or 4 cups whipped cream)
2 (3.4-ounce) boxes instant white chocolate or vanilla pudding
3 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Crush all the Oreos in a large resealable plastic bag or in the food processor until they are crumbs. Press two-thirds of the crushed cookies into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside. Reserve the remaining crushed Oreos.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter with a hand mixer until smooth. Mix in powdered sugar. Fold in whipped topping until well combined and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix pudding, milk, and vanilla. Let sit until thickened. Fold this mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
Carefully pour the pudding/cream cheese mixture over the crumb crust in the pan.
Sprinkle with the reserved crushed Oreos. Refrigerate for 3–4 hours before serving.

Notes

Make ahead of time: Crush the Oreos as directed and keep them in a closed resealable plastic bag. Make the filling as directed and place in a large airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, assemble as directed above.

Make it look like dirt: Use chocolate pudding instead of white chocolate pudding. Once assembled, add some candy bugs and gummy worms to the top.

Make in individual cups: Add a scoop of crumbs to each cup, pipe in some filling, and top with more crumbs before adding the worms, dangling over the edges.
