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

Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Layer Oreos: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
  3. Make Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk vigorously until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour this pudding evenly over the Oreo base layer.
  4. Add Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Drizzle the melted unsalted butter over the cake mix, covering as much surface area as possible to ensure moist baking.
  5. Bake the Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, until the top is set and slightly crisp. Remove from oven and let it cool for 10 minutes to set properly.
  6. Add Toppings and Serve: Spread whipped topping over the warm cake, sprinkle with mini chocolate chips and extra Oreo cookies if using. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • Using cold milk is essential for the pudding mix to thicken properly.
  • Do not stir the layers together before baking to maintain distinct layers and texture.
  • Letting the cake cool slightly makes it easier to top with whipped cream without melting it.
  • Mini chocolate chips are optional but add a nice texture and extra chocolate flavor.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
