Oreo Icebox Dessert

Tell me, who doesn’t love a good box of Oreos? And if you can believe it, there’s a way to make those Oreos even better! In this recipe, we’re taking classic Oreos and transforming them into an Oreo Icebox Dessert, filled with creamy layers, chocolate pudding, and a whipped cream topping.

While it may look deceptively simple and innocent on the surface, the Oreo Icebox Dessert hides devilish layers underneath that you can only discover once you cut into it. Talk about never judging a book by its cover, am I right?

In this recipe, I made use of a box of chocolate instant pudding mix, but if you want to challenge your baking skills, you can make the pudding mix yourself. Here’s how.

All you’ll need are simple ingredients like sugar, baking cocoa, cornstarch, whole milk, butter, vanilla extract, and salt (to balance out the sweetness). Once you have these on hand, you’ll want to first combine the cocoa, sugar, salt, and cornstarch in a heavy saucepan. Then, add milk gradually and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. After two minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in your vanilla and butter. Keep stirring until you’re happy with the consistency.

By making your chocolate pudding at home, you can up the ante of your Oreo Icebox Dessert. To make this recipe all the sweeter, don’t forget to top it all off with whipped cream and your choice of favorite candy. I personally love crushed Heath Toffee. But you can replace it with M&Ms, KitKats, or another layer of Oreo cookies. This is a dessert made to be your guilty pleasure, so give it all you’ve got.
