Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 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 Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Layer Oreos: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
- Mix Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the mixture thickens, about 2 minutes. Pour this pudding evenly over the Oreo layer.
- Add Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer, then drizzle the melted butter over the cake mix, covering as much surface as possible to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the cake with whipped topping, sprinkle mini chocolate chips and extra Oreo cookies on top if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use cold milk for pudding to ensure proper thickening.
- For extra crunch, add more Oreo cookie pieces as garnish before serving.
- Mini chocolate chips add texture and enhance the chocolate flavor but are optional.
- Letting the cake cool slightly before adding whipped topping prevents melting.
- This cake can be served warm or chilled depending on preference.
