Dirt Pudding

I have to thank Mrs. Hunter for this one. At our IDMD Christmas party, this was a great dessert. Pretty easy to make -- tastes great and has a great "Wow" appeal in a glass dish.  This recipe can easily be doubled for a party.  Also, when we made it, we used all of the lower fat (or lite) varieties and everything still came out pretty tasty.

 

Ingredients

1 small package instant vanilla pudding  
1 small package cream cheese - softened
8 oz whipped topping
1 lb Oreo cookies

 

Cooking Directions

Break the Oreo cookies into pieces.

Prepare the pudding according to directions on package.

Add whipped topping, cream cheese and pudding together.
Using a hand mixer, mix together thoroughly.
Layer in a serving dish with the crushed Oreos on the bottom.
