Ingredients
Scale:
1 package (15.25 oz) Golden Oreo cookies
1 cup milk
1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup powdered sugar
Extra Golden Oreos, crushed (for garnish)
Chocolate shavings or drizzle (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the vanilla pudding according to the package directions, whisking together the pudding mix with 2 cups of milk and allowing it to sit until thickened, about 5 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Once your pudding has thickened, gently fold it into the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture to create a smooth filling.
Dip each Golden Oreo cookie briefly in the milk to soften slightly, then lay down a single layer of the dipped cookies in a rectangular dish (9x13-inch).
Spread about one-third of the creamy filling over the layer of cookies.
Repeat the cookie-dipping and layering process two more times, ending with a final layer of the creamy filling on top.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight.
Once set, remove the cake from the refrigerator and garnish with crushed Golden Oreos and a drizzle of chocolate before serving.
