My Oreo cookie dessert is perfect for a large family gathering or just because you want something delicious!

I can assure you that a package of Oreo Cookies doesn't last long in my house. It doesn't matter where I try to hide these delicious sandwich cookies, my husbands always finds them and my kids always catch him eating them! When that happens he has to share a few cookies with them, too!

With the help of a box of cake mix, you can make an easy and tasty crust! This dense chocolate layer compliments the cream cheese and pudding layer so well! Add that light layer of whipped topping and this dessert will be gone before you know it!

How to Make an Oreo Cookie Dessert

You can always make this ahead of time by baking the crust and storing it in the refrigerator, until you're ready to add the remaining layers. Or, assemble all of the layers, and keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator and assemble the Oreo cookie dessert before you're ready to head out the door serve this to your guests.

If this is your first time making a chocolate crust from a cake mix, you might think I'm CRAZY! As you add your ingredients you'll think, "There is no way this is enough butter!" Or maybe you'll be tempted to add some water to make it easier to mix. But TRUST me, this crust will com together. Just be patient.

For this recipe you need to separate eggs and this is my favorite egg separator! I have no idea where it came from but I absolutely love the long handle and the fact that it's dishwasher safe! Grab a similar one here.

Once you have your crust together you can bake it and let it cool completely before adding your additional layers.

Really you cannot go wrong with any layer of cream cheese and sugar.

I was able to find a dark chocolate instant pudding mix that made me do a happy dance.

And of course I didn't use all of the whipped topping so I was sure I could have a few spoonfuls before licking the entire bowl.

And finally the cookies. When you bite into this amazing Oreo Cookie Dessert you'll realize it's an explosion of smooth sweet layers with a dense chocolate crust and crunchy cookie topping.
