Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Cherry pie filling | 1 can (21 oz) |
| Oreo cookies | 1 package (about 30 cookies) |
| Whipped topping (like Cool Whip) | 1 tub (16 oz) |
| Instant chocolate pudding mix | 1 package |
| Milk | 2 cups |
Instructions:
-
Make the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
-
Assemble the Layers: In a 9×13 inch baking dish, create a beautiful mosaic with a single layer of Oreo cookies. Break some cookies to fill any gaps and ensure a complete cookie base.
-
Layer by Layer:
- Chocolate Dream: Spread half of the prepared chocolate pudding over the Oreo cookie layer.
- Cherry Delight: Next, spoon half of the cherry pie filling over the pudding, creating a vibrant pink layer.
- Whipped Cream Heaven: Top it all off with half of the whipped topping, smoothing it into an even layer.
-
Repeat and Chill: Repeat the layering process: Oreo cookies, chocolate pudding, cherry pie filling, and whipped topping. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the cookies to soften slightly for the perfect bite.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Before serving, you can add a final touch of elegance by garnishing the top with crushed Oreo cookies, chocolate shavings, or fresh cherries. Slice the cake chilled and enjoy this refreshing and delicious dessert!
