Oreo Delight

[Printable Recipe]


I found this recipe on the Make Life Delicious blog. When I was going through my saved recipes I noticed that everything I saved was chocolate and peanut butter, which is one of my favorite combination but I decided to keep looking for something different. This sounded good, and I was able to adapt it so that it was better for my grandfather who has diabetes (after all this was for fathers day)

Ingredients

35 - 40 oreos

6 tbsp melted butter

8 oz cream cheese, softened ( I used reduced fat )

1/4 c. sugar

2 tbsp cold milk

12 oz cool whip. thawed ( I used sugar free)

3 1/4 c milk

2 small pkg Jello chocolate instant pudding ( I used sugar free)

Directions

process cookies in food processor until crumbs form. ( I don't have a food processor, so I used a nut chopper, it worked really well... the magic number is 6 cookies)

oreo crumbs


As Tim Gunn would say "make it work" so I did


Mix in melted butter and then press into the bottom of a 9 by 13 pan. Refrigerate

crust


Whisk cream cheese, suagr and 2 tbsp milk until blended, fold in 1 1/4 c cool whip.

cream cheese mixture


Spread over crust

Beat pudding and 3 1/4 cup milk with whisk for 2 min. pour over cream cheese layer.

( I added some left over crushed oreos on top)

pudding layer


Let stand in fridge to thicken for 5 mins

Cover with rest of the cool whip and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. ( I added more crushed oreos on top to make it look pretty)

the finished product.


the layers are pretty


My family really liked this, and I felt good eating it because it was relatively healthy. It was quoted as being "refreshing."

This is definitely a new go to for desserts. A great summer treat!
