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
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Add Oreo Base: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crunchy foundation.
- Prepare Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens well. Pour this pudding layer evenly over the Oreo cookie base.
- Layer Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Then drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the cake mix, ensuring it covers as much surface area as possible to help the cake cook evenly and form a crisp topping.
- 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 it to cool for 10 minutes.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Spread the whipped topping over the warm cake, then sprinkle with optional mini chocolate chips and garnish with extra Oreo cookies if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
Notes
- Use cold milk when mixing pudding for best thickening.
- Feel free to substitute whipped topping with fresh whipped cream for a homemade touch.
- The cake is best enjoyed within 2 days and can be stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Optional ingredients like mini chocolate chips add extra texture and chocolate bursts.
- For a variation, try using different flavored cake mixes such as vanilla or red velvet.
