Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookie Crust Layer

  • 24 Oreos, crushed (about 2 sleeves)
  • 6 tbsp Salted Butter, melted

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Pure Peppermint Extract
  • 8 oz Cool Whip Original whipped topping, thawed

Pudding Layer

  • 3.4 oz package of Jello Vanilla Instant Pudding
  • 1 3/4 cup Cold Milk
  • 1 tsp Pure Peppermint Extract
  • Green Food Coloring, a few drops (adjust to desired color)

Topping

  • 8 oz Cool Whip Extra Creamy whipped topping, thawed
  • 1/4 cup Miniature Chocolate Chips (optional)
  • Green Candy Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cookie crust: Crush the Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a Ziploc bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Mix the crushed Oreos with the melted butter, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and set.
  2. Make the cheesecake layer: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and peppermint extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip until fully combined to maintain a light texture.
  3. Assemble cheesecake layer: Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the chilled Oreo crust in the baking dish. Return the dish to the refrigerator to firm up while you prepare the pudding layer.
  4. Prepare pudding layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix, cold milk, peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Use a hand mixer to whip the mixture until thickened and creamy.
  5. Assemble pudding layer: Carefully spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cheesecake layer in the baking dish. Chill the dessert for at least three hours to allow all layers to set properly.
  6. Add the topping and garnish: Once fully set, remove the dessert from the refrigerator. Spread the extra creamy Cool Whip evenly over the top of the pudding layer. Optionally, sprinkle miniature chocolate chips and green candy sprinkles on top for a festive decoration.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of peppermint extract to taste for a stronger or milder mint flavor.
  • Make sure to chill the dessert for at least three hours to allow the layers to firm up properly for easy slicing.
  • Substitute regular Oreos with gluten-free Oreos if you need a gluten-free version.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead, making it perfect for entertaining.
  • To cut clean slices, use a sharp knife dipped in warm water and wiped dry between cuts.
