Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 20–25 Oreo cookies
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
Chocolate Layer
- 1 package chocolate pudding mix
- 1 cup milk (use 1/2 cup for pudding, 2 tablespoons for raspberry layer)
- 1/2 cup Cool Whip
Raspberry Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup raspberries, fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup Cool Whip
Topping
- Remaining Cool Whip for topping and decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Crush the Oreo cookies finely and combine with the melted butter. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8×8-inch Pyrex dish to create an even crust. Place the dish in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set.
- Make the chocolate pudding layer: Prepare the chocolate pudding mix using only half the recommended amount of milk (1/2 cup) for a thicker consistency. Once set, fold in 1/2 cup of Cool Whip gently until well combined. Spread this chocolate mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust. Return to the freezer for 10-15 minutes to firm up.
- Create the raspberry layer: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and vanilla extract, mixing well. Fold in the raspberries and 1 cup of Cool Whip carefully to maintain fluffiness. Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the chocolate pudding layer.
- Assemble the layers and add topping: Top the raspberry layer with the remaining Cool Whip, spreading it smoothly. Decorate the top as desired with additional raspberries or chocolate shavings if available.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For easier slicing, chill the dessert overnight.
- Use fresh raspberries for a brighter flavor, but frozen works well too; just thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing.
- Substitute Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the raspberry layer.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
