INGREDIENTS
1 package chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1 (3.4 oz) box instant pistachio pudding mix
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon mint extract
Green food coloring (optional)
1/2 cup whipped topping (for garnish)
Chocolate chips for garnish (optional)
PREPARATION STEPS
Start by crushing the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs
Mix the crumbs with melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a crust.
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the pistachio pudding mix, milk, and mint extract. Add a few drops of green food coloring, if desired, and mix until smooth and thickened.
Layer the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer in the baking dish.
Spread the whipped cream mixture on top of the pudding layer and smooth it out with a spatula.
Cover and refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set.
Before serving, garnish with whipped topping and chocolate chips, if desired.
