Ingredients
  

For the cake
  • 30 pieces Oreo sandwich cookies (Coarsely crushed, reserve half for topping)
  • 227 grams cream cheese (Softened)
  • 57 grams unsalted butter (Softened)
  • 60 grams powdered sugar
  • 720 millilitres whole milk
  • 336 grams instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 227 grams whipped topping (Thawed)
  • 60 millilitres hot water
  • 20 grams instant coffee granules (Can use decaffeinated for less caffeine)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by preparing your ingredients. Crush 30 Oreo cookies and set aside half for topping later. Allow the cream cheese and butter to soften at room temperature.
Mixing
  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix well.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the hot water and instant coffee granules, stirring until dissolved. Add this coffee mixture to the cream cheese mixture and blend well.
  3. Next, pour in the whole milk and add the instant chocolate pudding mix. Mix until everything is well combined and thickened.
  4. Finally, fold in the whipped topping gently until fully incorporated.
Assembly
  1. In a large serving dish or a trifle bowl, layer half of the crushed Oreo cookies at the bottom.
  2. Spread half of the chocolate pudding mixture over the cookies.
  3. Repeat the layers with the remaining crushed Oreos and pudding mixture.
  4. Top with the reserved crushed Oreos for added texture and decoration.
Chill
  1. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best taste.

Notes

Ensure that the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Make sure to chill the dessert for the recommended time to enhance flavors. For a more intense coffee flavor, increase the amount of coffee granules.
