Ingredients

Scale

Base Layer

  • 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

Topping

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Layer Oreos: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating the base of the dessert.
  3. Prepare Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Pour this pudding layer evenly over the Oreo cookie base.
  4. Add Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Then drizzle the melted unsalted butter evenly over the cake mix, ensuring coverage over as much surface as possible to help it bake evenly and create a crisp topping.
  5. Bake the Cake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp. After baking, remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes to set.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Once cooled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the baked cake. Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and garnish with extra Oreo cookies if desired. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • You can use any brand of instant chocolate pudding mix, but ensure it is instant for easy thickening without cooking.
  • For a crunchier texture, bake a few extra minutes but avoid burning.
  • Whipped topping can be substituted with freshly whipped cream for a fresher taste.
  • This cake can be refrigerated and served chilled; just allow it to come to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor.
  • Optional mini chocolate chips add extra chocolate bursts but can be omitted for a simpler version.
