A quick and easy festive dessert combining creamy mint chocolate pudding with crunchy St. Patrick’s Mint Oreos, perfect for celebrations and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant mint chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 ½ cups (600 ml) whole milk
  • 1 cup (240 ml) Cool Whip or whipped topping
  • About 24 St. Patrick’s Mint Oreos
  • 5 tablespoons (70 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • Green food coloring (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons (15 g) powdered sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Crush 18 Oreos finely using a food processor or sealed plastic bag and rolling pin.
  2. Mix crushed Oreos with melted unsalted butter until evenly coated. Press firmly into bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish to form crust.
  3. Bake crust for 8 minutes, then remove and let cool completely (about 15 minutes).
  4. In a large bowl, whisk instant mint chocolate pudding mix with 2 ½ cups cold whole milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Add green food coloring if desired.
  5. Chop remaining 6 Oreos into small chunks to fold into pudding.
  6. In a separate bowl, gently fold Cool Whip with powdered sugar.
  7. Fold chopped Oreo chunks into pudding mixture.
  8. Spread half of pudding mixture evenly over cooled Oreo crust.
  9. Add a layer of whipped topping, spreading gently.
  10. Top with remaining pudding mixture and sprinkle a few crushed Oreos on top for garnish.
  11. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight to set.
  12. Cut into 16 squares using a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts.

Notes

Use cold milk for pudding mix to avoid lumps. Crush Oreos to a mix of fine crumbs and chunks for texture contrast. Chill pudding squares overnight for best firmness and flavor. Use unsalted butter for crust to maintain flavor balance. For dairy-free, swap milk and whipped topping with dairy-free alternatives and use gluten-free Oreos for allergy-friendly version.
