A fun, easy, and festive 4th of July dessert featuring layers of crushed Oreos, creamy vanilla pudding, cream cheese, whipped topping, and patriotic red, white, and blue sprinkles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • About 25 Oreos, crushed into fine crumbs
  • 2 packages (3.4 oz / 96g each) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3 cups (720 ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whipped topping, thawed (e.g., Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup (about 40g) red, white, and blue funfetti sprinkles
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Crush about 25 Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs resembling dirt form. Reserve ½ cup (50g) crumbs for topping.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 packages of instant vanilla pudding mix and 3 cups cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 4 oz softened cream cheese with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Gently fold the pudding into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Carefully fold 1 cup thawed whipped topping into the pudding mixture to keep it light and fluffy.
  6. Stir in ¼ cup patriotic funfetti sprinkles and optional 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips.
  7. Assemble pudding cups by layering about 2 tablespoons Oreo crumbs, then ¼ cup pudding mixture, repeating layers until cups are full. Finish with a top layer of Oreo crumbs and extra sprinkles.
  8. Refrigerate the pudding cups for at least 1 hour to set and let flavors meld; chilling 2-3 hours is best.

Notes

Crush Oreos just before assembling to keep crumbs crunchy. Fold whipped topping gently to maintain fluffiness. Chill at least 1 hour for best texture. For gluten-free, use gluten-free sandwich cookies; for dairy-free, use coconut milk and coconut-based whipped topping. Optional mini chocolate chips add extra crunch.
