1 box (5.1 oz) vanilla pudding mix
8 oz Cool Whip
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups milk
Gummy worms (for garnish)
Mini eggs (for decoration)
Instructions
Prepare the Oreo Crust:
Crush the two packages of Oreos into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor or place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix the crushed Oreos with the softened butter until well combined.
Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 casserole dish to form a crust.
Make the Creamy Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whisk the vanilla pudding mix with the milk until thickened.
Combine the pudding mixture with the cream cheese mixture and stir until smooth.
Gently fold in the Cool Whip for a light and fluffy texture.
Assemble the Casserole:
Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the Oreo crust in the casserole dish.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly.
Add Final Touches:
Once chilled, top the casserole with gummy worms and mini eggs for a festive Easter look.
Serve and Enjoy:
Slice into squares and enjoy this delicious Easter treat!
