Ingredients

Units Scale

Crust:

  • 2 1/2 cups Oreo Cookie crumbs (approximately 25 Oreo Cookies)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 ounces Cool Whip
  • 4 ounces Mini-Chocolate Chips

Banana/Pudding Layer:

  • 2 family size packages of Jell-O chocolate fudge pudding (see note #1 regarding substitutions)
  • 5 cups milk (whole of 2%)

Topping:

  • 8 ounces Cool-Whip
  • 2 ounces mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 400° F.
  2. Using a food processor or blender, crush 30 Oreo Cookies, complete with filling, into fine crumbs.
  3. Place the Oreo Cookie crumbs into a medium size mixing bowl.  Add  ½ cup of melted unsalted butter.  Stir until the crumbs are evenly coated with butter and they take on a sandy, coarse texture.
  4. Transfer the crumb mixture into a buttered or non-stick sprayed 11 x 9 dish. Using the back of a spatula and using medium-firm pressure, press the mixture into an even layer.
  5. Place the dish into the preheated oven, bake for 10 minutes.  Remove from oven and set aside to cool (see note #2).

Cream Cheese Layer

  1. Place the softened cream cheese into a medium size mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, begin mixing the cream cheese, then add the milk.  Slowly add powdered sugar a tablespoon or two at a time (otherwise you’ll have powdered sugar all over your kitchen).  The cream  cheese will become silky smooth as you add the powdered sugar.  Continue mixing and adding the sugar until all of the sugar has been added and the cream cheese mixture is smooth.
  2. Using a spatula, fold 4 ounces of Cool-Whip into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in 4 ounces of mini chocolate chips.
  3. Carefully spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled graham cracker crumbs.  Don’t worry if some of the crumbs come loose from the base.

Pudding Layer

  1. Evenly spread the sliced bananas over the cream cheese mixture.
  2. Using an electric mixer, combine 5 cups of COLD milk with 2 boxes of pudding mix.  You can use a whisk in place of the mixer, just make sure the pudding granules are completely dissolved to avoid a grainy pudding texture.
  3. Pour the pudding over the bananas.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Topping

  1. Spread 8 ounces of Cool-Whip over the top of the pudding mixture.  Garnish with 2 ounces of mini chocolate chips.  Serve immediately.

Notes

  1. You can use store plain-wrap pudding although the flavor may not be as intense.  You can substitute chocolate pudding in place of chocolate fudge pudding.  If family size isn’t available, substitute 3 regular size.
  2. You can use a rack or cookie cooling rack if you have one available to quickly cool the crust.
