For the Oreo crust
  • 36 pieces Oreos (finely crushed) Regular or gluten-free Oreos if needed
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, melted

  • 8 oz block cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed Use one tub for this layer
For the pudding layer
  • 3 (3.4 oz) boxes cheesecake instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreos and melted butter. Mix with a fork until the texture resembles wet sand.
  3. Press the Oreo mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9×13 baking dish using your palm or the bottom of a measuring cup.
  4. Bake the crust for 8–10 minutes. Remove and let cool completely to room temperature.
Assembly
  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add one tub of thawed whipped topping and continue beating until fluffy.
  2. Spread the cream-cheese mixture over the cooled Oreo crust.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the pudding mix with cold milk until thickened (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. Fold in the remaining tub of whipped topping until smooth.
  5. Add mint extract and gel food coloring, mixing until the desired shade of green is reached.
  6. Spread the green pudding layer over the cream-cheese layer and smooth the top.
Chilling
  1. Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours or overnight.
  2. Before serving, garnish with Oreo crumbs, extra whipped topping, maraschino cherries, and green sprinkles.

Notes

For a lighter option, use low-fat cream cheese and a sugar substitute. If preferring a stronger chocolate base, add cocoa powder to the crust. This dessert is rich; plan for small servings.
