Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 24 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
Pudding Layer
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Cake Layer
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Extra Oreo cookies for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer Oreos: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a firm base layer.
- Make Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour this evenly over the layer of Oreos.
- Add Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Then, drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much surface as possible to help the cake bake with a crisp top.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes.
- Finish and Serve: Top the baked cake with whipped topping, mini chocolate chips, and extra Oreo cookies if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delightful dessert.
Notes
- For added texture and flavor, mini chocolate chips are optional but recommended.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before topping with whipped cream to prevent melting.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use full-fat milk for best pudding texture, but 2% milk works fine as well.
- To make it extra decadent, add a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top before serving.
