Ingredients
Crust and Topping
- 1 package Golden Oreos crushed
- 1/2 cup butter melted
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Pudding Layer
- 1 box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz size)
- 2 cups cold milk
- 8 oz whipped topping like Cool Whip
Decorations
- Easter candy decorations like chocolate eggs, bunny gummies, marshmallow chicks
- shredded coconut or green frosting tinted green to mimic grass
Instructions
- Crush Golden Oreos in a food processor or zip-top bag until fine crumbs. Stir in melted butter to create a sandy texture.
- Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk vanilla pudding mix with cold milk until thickened. Fold in whipped topping to form a mousse.
- In a 9x13-inch casserole dish, layer half the cookie crumbs, all of the cream cheese mixture, then the pudding mousse, followed by the remaining crumbs on top.

Notes
For best results, chill overnight and decorate just before serving. Use cold milk for pudding and softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Perfect for Easter gatherings or a fun family project.
