Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • Purple food coloring (a few drops)

Pudding Layer

  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • Orange food coloring (a few drops)

Whipped Topping Layer

  • 2 cups whipped topping (Cool Whip)
  • Green food coloring (as needed)

Garnish

  • Halloween-themed sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor for a uniform texture.
  2. Form the Crust: Mix the crushed Oreo crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated, then press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to create a compact base.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Layer: Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth; add powdered sugar and mix well for sweetness.
  4. Incorporate Whipped Topping and Color: Gently fold in 1 cup whipped topping and a few drops of purple food coloring, blending until the color is evenly distributed.
  5. Spread the Cream Cheese Layer: Spread this mixture evenly over the prepared Oreo crust, creating the first creamy layer.
  6. Prepare the Pudding Layer: Whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until thickened and smooth.
  7. Add Orange Color: Mix in a few drops of orange food coloring until the pudding is uniformly tinted.
  8. Spread the Pudding Layer: Carefully spread the colored pudding over the cream cheese layer for a vibrant contrast.
  9. Make the Whipped Topping Layer: Combine 2 cups whipped topping with green food coloring, stirring until the color is well blended.
  10. Spread the Whipped Topping Layer: Smooth this green whipped topping over the pudding layer for a festive finish.
  11. Add the Garnish: Sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles across the top to add whimsical decoration and texture.
  12. Chill the Dessert: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours or until fully set to allow the layers to firm up and flavors to meld.
  13. Serve: Cut into squares and serve chilled to enjoy the refreshing and colorful Halloween treat.
