Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 20 ounces mint Oreos (32 crushed for crust, 10 reserved for topping)
  • 6 tablespoons salted sweet cream butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 tablespoons salted sweet cream butter, softened (for buttering the baking dish)

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 16 ounces whipped topping, thawed (divided into 1 cup + 1 cup + remaining)
  • 1½ teaspoons pure mint extract
  • 2 to 3 drops green food color gel

Pudding Layer

  • 7.8 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold whole milk

Instructions

  1. Crush Cookies: Use a food processor or place 32 mint Oreos in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely ground. Reserve 10 Oreos to break into smaller pieces for topping later.
  2. Make Crust Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with 6 tablespoons of melted butter. Stir well to evenly coat the cookie crumbs with butter.
  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Using a pastry brush or your fingers, coat the entire surface of a 9×9 inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of softened butter to prevent sticking.
  4. Press Crust: Press the buttered cookie crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the cheesecake layer.
  5. Beat Cream Cheese: Place softened cream cheese in a large bowl. Using a handheld mixer on medium-high speed, beat for 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
  6. Add Sugar: Add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, and continue beating for 1 to 1½ minutes until fully combined and fluffy.
  7. Mix in Whipped Topping and Mint: Add 1 cup of the thawed whipped topping and the mint extract to the cream cheese mixture. Beat another 1 minute until well combined.
  8. Add Color: Add 2 to 3 drops of green food coloring gel and mix just until the color is a uniform mint green with no streaks.
  9. Spread Cheesecake Layer: Remove the crust from the refrigerator. Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture on top of the cookie crust layer. Return to the refrigerator while preparing the pudding layer.
  10. Prepare Pudding Layer: In a medium bowl, combine cold milk, 1 cup of thawed whipped topping, and the instant chocolate pudding mix. Using a mixer at medium speed, beat for 1½ to 2 minutes until the pudding mixture thickens.
  11. Assemble Pudding Layer: Take the baking dish from the fridge and spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer. Chill the assembled dessert for 2 hours to fully set.
  12. Finish and Serve: Just before serving, spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the reserved broken Oreo pieces over the top as a garnish. Slice into 9 pieces and serve chilled.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth mixing.
  • Use a gentle hand when mixing in the green food coloring to avoid streaks.
  • This dessert requires chilling time to fully set, so plan ahead.
  • For extra mint flavor, use a high-quality pure mint extract.
  • Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
