Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 24 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped

Pudding Layer

  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk

Cake Layer

  • 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

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Oreos: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a crunchy base layer.
  3. Make Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, which takes about 2 minutes. Pour this pudding evenly over the Oreo layer.
  4. Add Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding. Then drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much surface as possible to ensure moistness.
  5. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp. Once done, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Top and Serve: Spread 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 for the best flavor experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute whipped topping with whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • To make it extra decadent, freeze the cake after baking and serve as a frozen dessert.
  • Mini chocolate chips are optional, but they add a lovely texture contrast.
  • Ensure the pudding is fully thickened before layering to prevent sogginess.
