# Ingredients:

→ Oreo Base

01 - 6 tablespoons melted butter
02 - 20-25 crushed Oreo cookies

→ Chocolate Pudding Layer

03 - 1 cup milk
04 - 1 pack of instant chocolate pudding mix
05 - 1/2 cup whipped topping (optional)

→ Raspberry Cream Cheese Layer

06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla
07 - 1/2 cup sugar
08 - 8 oz softened cream cheese
09 - 2 tablespoons milk
10 - 1/2 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
11 - 1 cup whipped topping

→ Decorations

12 - Extra whipped topping
13 - Sprinkles (optional)
14 - Berries for garnish (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Take apart the Oreos, toss the cream, and crush the cookies into crumbs with a food processor or by hand. Combine crumbs with melted butter until it holds together like wet sand. Push this mix into an 8x8 baking pan and freeze for 10 minutes so it firms up.
02 - Use only half the usual amount of milk and make the instant chocolate pudding. Optionally, fold in some whipped topping to make it lighter. Spread this over the Oreo crust and put it back in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes.
03 - Combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and milk in a bowl and mix until smooth. Add raspberries and stir until they break apart. Fold in whipped topping. Carefully spread this on top of the chocolate layer and freeze again for 10-15 minutes to set.
04 - Cover the dessert with the rest of your whipped topping. Add sprinkles or fresh fruit if you like. Put it in the fridge for at least 4 hours so everything stays firm and layered.

# Notes:

01 - Keep cold so the layers stay firm
02 - Prepare early and store in the fridge
03 - Tastes best when completely chilled
