Easy (And Delicious) No Bake Oreo Trifle

With continuing on about our 4th of July BBQ and sharing a few recipes and ideas, I had to share this Oreo trifle recipe.  Not going to lie, this dessert was so amazing and I was actually sad to see the trifle bowl empty.  It makes for a good dessert because it's quick, simple, no bake, and well... it has Oreos!  I could have started with 'it has Oreos' and didn't even have to list the other reasons, actually.

Ingredients:

• 1 package of Oreos
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 large box of instant chocolate pudding
• 16 oz container of Cool Whip
• 8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup of powdered sugar

Make chocolate pudding according to directions.  Place in fridge to set.  

Meanwhile, crush the package of Oreos with a rolling pin or in a food processor.  Take half of the crushed Oreos and place them on the bottom of your trifle bowl.  Pour melted butter on top, mix well and press down to make a crust.

Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl until fluffy.  Blend in powdered sugar and then fold in container of the Cool Whip, reserving a little plain Cool Whip to finish off the top.  Spread some of the mixture over the top of the crushed Oreo crust.  

Top with chocolate pudding, then top the pudding with crushed Oreos.

Continue layering, finishing off with the plain Cool Whip you reserved.  Sprinkle the top with Oreos.

Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.  

Enjoy!
