Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Toppings
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Extra Oreo cookies for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer Oreos: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
- Mix pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour the pudding evenly over the Oreo layer.
- Add cake mix and butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Then drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the top, covering as much surface as possible to ensure moistness.
- Bake the cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp. After baking, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Add toppings and serve: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the cooled cake. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and extra Oreo cookies on top, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use cold milk to ensure the pudding mix thickens properly.
- For extra crunch, add mini chocolate chips inside the cake before baking.
- You can substitute the chocolate cake mix with another flavor for variation.
- Whipped topping can be replaced with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- Make sure to let the cake cool slightly before adding the whipped topping to prevent melting.
