Ingredients
Scale
Pudding
- 2 (3.4 oz) packages cheesecake flavored pudding mix
- 4 1/2 cups (1080 ml) milk, divided
Cookies
- 2 (15.25 oz) boxes Golden Oreos
Fruit
- 1 lb package strawberries, washed and sliced
- 1 pint blueberries, plus more for decorating
Whipped Cream
- 12 oz Cool Whip, or 1 1/2 recipes of Homemade Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Prepare the pudding: Make both cheesecake flavored puddings according to the directions on the package, using 4 cups of the milk (2 cups of milk per package). Set aside to thicken.
- Dip Oreos in milk and layer: Pour the remaining 1/2 cup milk into a small bowl. Quickly dip each Golden Oreo in the milk and arrange a single layer at the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan.
- First pudding layer: Spread half of the prepared cheesecake pudding evenly over the Oreo layer.
- Add strawberry slices: Arrange a single layer of sliced strawberries over the pudding, reserving some for decoration later.
- Layer whipped cream: Spread half of the Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream over the strawberries.
- Second Oreo layer: Again, quickly dip the remaining Oreos in milk and place a single layer on top of the whipped cream.
- Second pudding layer: Spread the remaining cheesecake pudding evenly over the Oreos.
- Add blueberries: Layer the blueberries over the pudding, reserving some for decoration on top.
- Top with whipped cream: Spread the remaining whipped cream over the blueberries.
- Decorate: Garnish the top generously with the reserved strawberry slices and blueberries to make the dessert visually appealing.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cake for 2 to 3 hours to allow the Oreos to soften, making the cake easy to slice and enhancing the flavors before serving.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh and ripe strawberries and blueberries to enhance flavor and texture.
- Cool Whip can be substituted with fresh homemade whipped cream for a lighter, less processed option.
- The cake can be assembled a day ahead to deepen flavor and ease preparation before serving.
- Use Golden Oreos for a nice contrast in flavor and color to traditional chocolate Oreos.
- If you prefer a firmer cake, refrigerate longer, but 2-3 hours is sufficient for optimal texture.
