Ingredients
1 package Golden Oreo cookies (crushed)
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
2 boxes instant pudding mix (vanilla and pistachio or red-tinted vanilla)
3 cups cold milk (divided)
½ teaspoon peppermint extract (optional, for festive flavor)
Red and green food coloring (if using two vanilla puddings)
1 cup mini chocolate chips or crushed candy canes (for topping)
Holiday sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
Crush the Golden Oreos using a food processor or by sealing them in a plastic bag and rolling with a pin until fine crumbs form. Combine the crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the layers.
In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Fold in one cup of whipped topping until light and creamy. Spread this layer evenly over the chilled crust.
In two separate bowls, prepare the pudding mixes using 1½ cups of cold milk for each. Add a drop of red food coloring to one vanilla pudding (or use pistachio pudding for the green layer) and stir until vibrant. Let the puddings set for 5 minutes, then spread the green layer gently over the cream cheese layer, followed by the red one. Smooth each layer carefully to keep the colors distinct.
Top with the remaining whipped topping, spreading evenly to cover the surface. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, crushed candy canes, or festive sprinkles over the top for decoration. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set perfectly.
Tips for Success
For best results, use cold milk when preparing pudding to ensure it sets properly. You can substitute peppermint extract with vanilla for a more classic flavor. To create cleaner layers, chill each pudding layer for 15 minutes before adding the next. This dessert can be made up to two days in advance — just keep it covered in the fridge.
Serving Ideas
Serve chilled, sliced into squares or rectangles. It pairs beautifully with hot chocolate or peppermint mocha for a complete holiday treat. You can also customize the toppings with white chocolate curls, crushed Oreos, or colored sugar for extra sparkle.
