Main Ingredients Needed: 

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.

• Chocolate Instant Pudding Mix - you can use sugar free or regular pudding mix.
• Milk
• Heavy Cream
• Oreo cookies

Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Pudding

• Whisk together the pudding mix and milk in a large bowl. 
• Then in another bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. 
• Next, crush the Oreo cookies into crumbs.  

Step 2: How to Easily Crush Cookies

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.

Step 3: 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! 

Remember to reserve some of the cookie crumbs to garnish the pudding.

Tips for Serving Chocolate Pudding Parfaits

• It's always best to serve any type of parfait in a 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.
