Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Cookie Layer:
- 1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies
Cream Cheese Mixture:
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Pudding Layer:
- 2 (3.4 oz) boxes instant vanilla pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
Additional:
- 1 (12 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip)
- Pastel-colored sprinkles
- Bunny-shaped marshmallows or candies
- Green-tinted shredded coconut (optional)
- Candy eggs or jelly beans
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Mix Pudding: In another bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened.
- Combine Layers: Fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture, then gently fold in the whipped topping until well combined.
- Assemble Cake: In a 9×13-inch dish, spread a layer of crushed Oreos on the bottom. Pour the pudding mixture over the cookie layer and spread evenly. Top with the remaining crushed Oreos to resemble dirt.
- Decorate: Decorate the top with bunny-shaped candies, candy eggs, green coconut ‘grass,’ and pastel sprinkles.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- To make green coconut ‘grass,’ place shredded coconut in a zip-top bag with a few drops of green food coloring and shake until evenly coated.
- You can also use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla for a darker ‘dirt’ appearance.
