Ingredients

20-25 Oreo cookies

1 package chocolate pudding mix
1 cup milk (for the pudding)
2 tablespoons milk (for the raspberry layer)

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen

Tip: You can find a full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.

Instructions

Prepare the Base Layer: Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies until finely ground. Mix the crumbs with the melted butter and press the mixture into the bottom of an 8×8 Pyrex dish. Freeze for 10 minutes to set the crust.
Make the Chocolate Pudding Layer: Prepare the chocolate pudding mix using 1 cup of milk, following the instructions on the package. Once the pudding has set, fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip. Spread the chocolate pudding mixture over the crust and return the dish to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
Create the Raspberry Layer: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Once smooth, fold in the raspberries and the remaining 1 cup of Cool Whip. Spread this raspberry mixture evenly over the chocolate pudding layer.
Assemble the Layers: Top the raspberry layer with the remaining Cool Whip and smooth it out evenly. You can also garnish with extra fresh raspberries or chocolate shavings for an added touch.
Chill the Dessert: Place the dessert in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 4 hours, or until it’s fully set.

Variations

Berry Mix: You can substitute the raspberries with other berries like strawberries, blueberries, or blackberries, or even a mix of your favorite fruits for a unique twist.
Chocolate Drizzle: Drizzle melted chocolate over the top layer of Cool Whip for an extra chocolatey touch.
Nuts and Crunch: Add some chopped nuts like almonds or pecans in the crust or as a garnish for a bit of crunch.
Lighter Version: Use fat-free pudding mix, reduced-fat cream cheese, and low-fat Cool Whip for a lighter take on this dessert.

Heating/Storage

Storage: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to cover it with plastic wrap or foil to prevent it from absorbing other odors in the fridge.
Freezing: This dessert can be frozen for up to 2 months. For best results, slice it into squares and freeze them in an airtight container. Let it thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
