👩‍🍳Recipe Notes

This recipe calls for crushed Oreo cookies. There are a few ways you can do that. The easiest way to crush cookies is to use a food processor.

However, if you don't have one, here's a few easy tips for crushing cookies into crumbs for any recipe: 

• Place half the amount of cookies in a plastic storage bag. 
• Remove the air from the bag and make sure it's completely closed. You don't want the crumbs to escape and make a huge mess! 
• Place the bag on a flat surface and using a rolling pin begin to flatten the bag to create a single layer of cookies. 
• Next, gently "roll" over the bag until the cookies are crushed to the size you need for the recipe. 
• If you don't have a rolling pin, you can always use a meat cleaver. I've even used the back of a stainless steel measuring cup.

📋Ingredients

This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.

💡 Substitutions and Variations

• Swap out the chocolate pudding for vanilla or even cheesecake flavored pudding mix.
• Use a different flavored cookie or even graham crackers!

Step-by-Step Instructions

• Step 1: Whisk together the pudding mix and milk in a large bowl. 
• Step 2: Then in another bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. 
• Step 3: Next, crush the Oreo cookies into crumbs following the tips listed above.
• Step 4: Add the heavy cream to a bowl and using a hand mixer, mix until whipped cream forms, this may take several minutes.

📌Quick Tip: You don't have to add any sugar to the whipped cream. There's enough sweetness in the pudding mix. However, if you wanted to, you could whip the cream with 2 tablespoons of granulated or powdered sugar for extra sweetness.

How to Layer the Pudding Dessert

• Start by adding a layer of the pudding to the bottom of the glass.
• Then add a little whipped cream followed by cookie crumbs. 
• Repeat until the glass is full! 
• Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving.

➡️Top Recipe Tip

• Remember to reserve a few of the Oreo cookie crumbss to sprinkle on top of the pudding parfait.
• Keep a few of the cookies whole as well to place on top of the parfait.

🥣Serving Tips

• It's always best to serve any type of parfait in clear glass serving bowls.
• You want to be able to see the different layers of pudding, whipped cream and of course the delicious Oreo cookie crumbs.
• Any glass bowl will work for this recipe. Just make sure it's tall enough so you can get a few different layers added to the glass. 
• Mason jars work really great for desserts like this too as with my recipe for Easy No Bake Mason Jar Pudding Desserts. 
• Lastly, if you don't have individual glasses or mason jars for this recipe, a clear glass bowl works great too. You'll need to layer everything inside the clear glass bowl and then serve it into individual plates or bowls when the dessert is ready. 

🍶Storage Tips

• If you have any leftovers, the best way to store them is by covering with plastic wrap or an airtight lid and placing it in the refrigerator.
• For a short-term storage option, you can leave the parfait in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
• Just make sure that it's covered tightly to prevent any air or moisture from getting in, which can cause the whipped cream to deflate and the pudding to become runny.
