Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 1 package mint Oreos, finely crushed
- 5 tbsp. melted butter
Cheesecake Layer
- 2 (8-oz.) blocks cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp. mint extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Green food coloring, to desired color
Pudding Layer
- 2 (3.4-oz.) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Topping
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1/4 cup chocolate shavings
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the finely crushed mint Oreos with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9″ x 13″ baking dish to form the crust layer. Set aside.
- Make the cheesecake layer: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and free of lumps. Add the mint extract and continue mixing. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully incorporated. Add green food coloring a few drops at a time until the desired pastel green shade is achieved. Pour this mixture evenly over the Oreo crust and smooth the surface with an offset spatula. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the next layer.
- Prepare the pudding layer: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mixes and milk until the mixture thickens, which usually takes a few minutes. Fold in the mini chocolate chips carefully. Pour this pudding layer evenly over the chilled cheesecake layer and smooth the top.
- Add the whipped cream topping: Evenly spread the remaining whipped cream over the pudding layer. Sprinkle the chocolate shavings and the remaining mini chocolate chips over the whipped cream layer to garnish the dessert.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow all layers to set and flavors to meld. Once chilled, slice into squares and serve cold for the best taste and texture experience.
Notes
- For best results, use cold ingredients, especially the cream cheese and milk.

- Adjust green food coloring gradually to avoid an overpowering color.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This dessert is no-bake and requires refrigeration to set properly.
