Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Pulverize the cookies into fine crumbs. Reserve 1/3 of the crumbs for topping.
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Fold in half of the Cool Whip until fluffy.
- Make the Pudding: Whisk instant pudding mixes with cold milk. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

- Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Notes
