Cooking MethodNo Bake

Ingredients

1 package of 20 original Oreos
2 tablespoons butter, melted
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 (8-ounce) carton whipped topping, thawed and divided
1 (3.9 ounce) package instant chocolate fudge pudding mix
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup fudge ice cream topping

Instructions

Crush cookies by placing into a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin, or use a food processor to pulse until pieces no larger than 1/2 inch remain. Mix these chunky crumbs with the melted butter and place into a 9 x 9-inch serving dish.
Mix the cream cheese with an electric mixer until it is smooth, then blend in the powdered sugar. By hand, gently stir in 1 cup of the whipped topping. Spoon the mixture over the cookie crumb layer in the serving dish.
Combine the pudding mix and milk and use a whisk to stir until pudding begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Pour this mixture gently over the cream cheese layer in the dish.
Gently spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Wrap lightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
To serve, place ice cream topping into a zip top plastic bag and, leaving the top open, warm for 10 seconds in the microwave. Carefully squeeze topping into one corner of the bag and cut off the tip. Squeeze topping onto the dessert in a decorative pattern and sprinkle with the almonds.
