Ingredients
  

For the Crust:
  • 20 cookies Oreo
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 18 ounce whipped topping
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Pudding Layer:
  • 1 box instant chocolate pudding mix approx. 3.4 ounces
  • 1 ½ cups nonfat milk
  • 5-7 drops green food coloring
  • Additional mini chocolate chips or crushed cookies for topping

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Preparation Steps:
  1. Begin by crushing the 20 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix the Oreo crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to form a crust. Set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla and peppermint extracts, mixing until well combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping and half of the mini chocolate chips until fully incorporated.
  3. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the prepared Oreo crust in the baking dish.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and nonfat milk. Stir continuously for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding has thickened.
  5. Pour the chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the remaining whipped topping with green food coloring until you reach your desired minty hue. Spread this topping over the chocolate pudding layer.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining mini chocolate chips and any crushed Oreos on top.
  8. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Once set, slice into squares and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container for best freshness.
  • Avoid freezing, as the texture may change upon thawing.
  • Make ahead for best flavor; prepare the day before and let it chill overnight.
