Chocolate Oreo Trifle with Whipped Cream
An irresistible no-bake dessert featuring layers of crushed Oreos, chocolate pudding, and a generous topping of whipped cream. Easy to assemble and perfect for chocolate lovers!
Ingredients
- 36 Oreo Cookies
- 3.9 oz Instant Chocolate Pudding Mix
- 3 cups Milk
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Prepare the Pudding
In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk according to the package directions. Let it stand for 5 minutes to thicken. Stir in the softened cream cheese until well combined.
Crush the Oreos
Coarsely crush the Oreo cookies. You can use a food processor or place them in a large resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-beat.
Assemble the Trifle
Line the bottom of a trifle bowl or large glass bowl with a layer of crushed Oreos. Spread half of the chocolate pudding mixture over the Oreos.
Layering
Top the pudding with half of the whipped cream. Repeat the layers: crushed Oreos, remaining chocolate pudding, and remaining whipped cream.
Chill and Serve
Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with additional crushed Oreos before serving, if desired.
