Ingredients
  

Dessert Layers

  • 1 package Oreo cookies, crushed (14–15 oz)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 packages instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz each)

Preparation Steps

  • CRUSH THE OREOS: Place the Oreo cookies (with filling) into a food processor and pulse until you get a mix of fine crumbs and small chunks. Set aside.
  • MAKE THE CREAM CHEESE BASE: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar.
  • PREPARE THE PUDDING: In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens, then let it sit for another 2–3 minutes.
  • COMBINE THE FILLING: Add the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture and blend until fully combined and smooth, then gently fold in the whipped topping.
  • LAYER THE TRIFLE: In a clear trifle bowl, layer crushed Oreos, cream filling, and pastel candies until the bowl is filled.
  • DECORATE THE TOP: Finish with whipped topping, Oreo halves, pastel eggs, and sprinkles for decoration.
  • CHILL: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2–4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Notes

Allowing the trifle to chill overnight enhances the flavors. Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite candies.
