Ingredients

24 Oreo cookies, crushed (for the base)
15.25 oz chocolate cake mix (for the cake layer)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 box instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz)
2 cups cold milk
1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Extra Oreo cookies for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Step 2: Spread the crushed Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 3: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Stir until thickened, about 2 minutes, then pour the pudding over the Oreo layer.
Step 4: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much surface as possible.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Remove and let cool for 10 minutes.
Step 6: Top the cake with whipped topping, mini chocolate chips, and extra Oreo cookies if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add chopped nuts on top before baking.
Use chocolate or vanilla pudding for a different flavor twist.
Swap mini chocolate chips for white chocolate chips or butterscotch chips for variety.

Storage

Store leftover cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for about 20 seconds if you prefer it warm. Whipped topping is best added fresh before serving.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie for the base?

Yes, you can substitute Oreos with other sandwich cookies or chocolate chip cookies for a different flavor and texture.

Is it necessary to chill the pudding before adding it?

It’s important to whisk the pudding with cold milk until thickened but not chilled. Pouring it right away ensures it sets properly in the cake layers during baking.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

24 Oreo cookies, crushed

Pudding Layer

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

Cake Layer

15.25 oz chocolate cake mix (dry)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Topping

1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Extra Oreo cookies for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prepare for assembling the cake.
Prepare the crust: Spread the crushed Oreo cookies evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish, forming a solid base layer.
Make the pudding layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour this creamy pudding evenly over the Oreo crust.
Add the cake mix: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer, covering it completely for an even cake layer.
Pour melted butter: Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the top of the dry cake mix, aiming to cover as much surface area as possible to help create a moist cake during baking.
Bake the cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. Once done, remove it and let it cool for 10 minutes to set.
Finish with toppings: After cooling slightly, spread the whipped topping evenly over the baked cake. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and garnish with extra Oreo cookies if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use full-fat milk for the pudding to achieve a creamier texture.
Crushing Oreos finely will help create a more uniform base.
Ensure the melted butter covers as much cake mix surface as possible to avoid dry spots.
Serve the cake warm for a gooey texture, or chilled for a firmer dessert.
Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
