Ingredients
Scale
Mint Pudding Layer
- 1 package instant pistachio or mint pudding mix (3.4 oz)
- 2 cups cold milk
- Green food coloring (optional, a few drops)
Whipped Topping
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), chilled
Cookie Crust and Chocolate Layers
- 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (classic chocolate Oreos), finely crushed with some chunks
- 1/2 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips
Other Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Mint Pudding Layer: Whisk together the instant mint pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Add a few drops of green food coloring if desired to enhance the vibrant green hue.
- Whip the Creamy Topping: Gently fold the chilled whipped topping into the prepared mint pudding mixture to create a light and airy mint cream layer.
- Assemble the First Cookie Layer: Spread a generous and even layer of crushed Oreos on the bottom of your serving dish, leaving some small chunks for texture.
- Layer the Mint Cream Mixture: Spread half of the mint pudding and whipped topping mixture evenly over the Oreo crust layer.
- Add Chopped Chocolate and More Crust: Sprinkle chopped chocolate or chocolate chips over the mint cream layer, then add another thick layer of crushed Oreos on top.
- Finish with Remaining Mint Cream and Chill: Spread the remaining mint cream mixture evenly on top to smooth out the dessert. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld.
Notes
- Use chilled ingredients like cold milk and whipped topping to ensure the best texture and quick setting layers.
- Crush cookies to varied sizes mixing fine crumbs with small chunks for a delightful crunch and texture.
- Spread each layer gently to maintain distinct layers and visually appealing presentation.
- Choose quality dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips for a balanced chocolate flavor that complements the mint.
- Chill the dessert sufficiently to achieve a firm sliceable texture.
