This no-bake trifle is made with crushed Oreo cookies, cream cheese, pudding mix, and Cool Whip. It's super easy to make, taste delicious and is always a crowd-pleaser.
Reserve 3 or 4 cookies for garnish. Place the remaining Oreo cookies in a Ziploc baggie and crush. (A meat mallet or rolling pin works great for this.) Set aside.
1 1-lb/3oz package Oreos
Add the milk and pudding to a large bowl. Whisk until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and mix until incorporated, and the mixture is smooth.
8 ounces cream cheese, ¼ cup butter, 1 cup powdered sugar (aka confectioners), ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese and butter mixture. Mix on low until combined and smooth. Stop the mixer and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl with a spatula. Mix until that is incorporated (just a few seconds).
Using a spatula, carefully fold in 8 ounces of Cool Whip by hand into the cream cheese, butter, and pudding mixture. Be gentle, you want to keep it nice and fluffy.
12 ounces Cool Whip
In a large bowl or trifle dish. Spoon in a layer of pudding then top with a layer of crushed Oreos. Repeat layers. You can make as many layers as you want.
Top with the remaining 4 ounces of Cool Whip and garnish with the 3 or 4 Oreos that you reserved. You can crush them, half them, or keep them whole to garnish with.
Cover and chill 30 minutes to 2 hours before serving.
Cover tightly and store up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
