Instructions

Prepare Oreo Base: Crush two-thirds of the Oreo package finely and press the crumbs evenly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Set aside the remaining crushed Oreos for topping later.
Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add in the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Gently fold in the Cool Whip, creating a light and fluffy cream mixture. Set aside.
Prepare Pudding Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant white chocolate pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract until the pudding starts to thicken slightly.
Combine Mixtures: Fold the pudding mixture gently into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated, resulting in a creamy, smooth filling.
Assemble Cake: Pour the combined cream cheese and pudding mixture over the Oreo crumb base in the pan and spread evenly.
Add Toppings and Chill: Sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos evenly over the top layer. Cover and refrigerate the cake for several hours until fully set and chilled.
Decorate and Serve: Just before serving, decorate the top with Easter-themed candies such as PEEP bunnies, edible grass, and candy Easter eggs for a festive presentation.

Notes

Use regular or double-stuffed Oreos based on your preference for sweetness.
Chilling for at least 2 hours is essential for the cake to set properly.
For a firmer texture, refrigerate overnight.
You can substitute vanilla pudding mix if white chocolate pudding mix is unavailable.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.
