Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 24 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
Pudding Layer
- 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Cake Layer
- 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Topping
- 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Extra Oreo cookies for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prepare for the dump cake assembly.
- Layer Oreos: Spread the roughly chopped Oreo cookies evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a solid base layer.
- Prepare Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Pour the pudding evenly over the Oreos in the baking dish.
- Add Cake Mix and Butter: Sprinkle the dry chocolate cake mix evenly over the pudding layer. Drizzle the melted butter over the entire surface, making sure to cover as much of the cake mix as possible to achieve a moist texture when baked.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is set and slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes.
- Finish with Topping: Spread the whipped topping evenly over the warm cake. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips and extra Oreo cookies on top if desired. Serve warm or let it reach room temperature before serving.
Notes
- You can customize this dessert by adding nuts or swapping Oreos for other cookies.
- Using cold milk is key to getting the pudding to thicken properly.
- Letting the cake cool slightly before adding whipped topping helps keep the topping from melting.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This recipe serves approximately 12 people depending on portion size.
