Ingredients
For the Crunchy Cookie Crust: 1 ½ cups chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos), crushed, 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted.
For the Minty Cream Layer: 8 oz cream cheese (softened), 1 cup powdered sugar, ½ tsp peppermint extract, 4–5 drops green food coloring, 1 ½ cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip).
For the Vanilla Pudding Layer: 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 ¾ cups cold milk.
For the Topping: 1 ½ cups whipped topping, 2–3 chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed, for garnish), green sprinkles or mint candies (optional).
Instructions
- Build the Cookie Foundation – Mix crushed cookies with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into a 9×9-inch baking dish. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.
- Create the Minty Magic – Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, peppermint extract, and green food coloring. Mix well. Gently fold in whipped topping until fluffy. Spread evenly over the chilled crust.
- Layer on the Vanilla Bliss – Whisk together vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until thick. Spread pudding evenly over the mint layer. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- Seal the Sweetness – Spread remaining whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer. Garnish with crushed cookies, green sprinkles, or mint candies.
- Chill & Indulge – Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) for best results. Slice into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try using mint-flavored Oreos or a chocolate drizzle on top.
- Make it ahead—this dessert sets beautifully overnight for the best texture.
- Substitutions – Swap vanilla pudding for white chocolate pudding for a twist.
A cool, creamy, and dreamy treat that brings the fun of a Shamrock Shake into a decadent layered dessert!
