Oreo Cheesecake Pudding - made with instant pudding mix, cream cheese, and an Oreo Cookie crumb crust, this recipe is rich, cream and delicious! You only need a few ingredients to make this recipe and it's ready in about 30 minutes.
In the bowl of the KitchenAid mixer, using the paddle attachment, cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla and continue to mix until combined and smooth.
Switch out the paddle attachment for the whisk attachment, if you have one and then add in the pudding mix followed by the milk.
Allow the pudding/cream cheese mixture to set until just firm. Since we're using instant pudding mix, this took about 5 minutes.
Finally, fold in the container of Cool Whip.
Place the Oreo cookies in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin, crush them into crumbs. It's okay if you still have a few larger pieces.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crumbs into the bottom of the mason jars.
Reserve some of the cookie crumbs to use as a garnish.
Then using the tart tamper, gently press the crumbs into the bottom of the mason jars.
Next, add the pudding/cream cheese mixture to the jars.
Top each jar with a little of the ReddiWhip and a few of the reserved cookie crumbs. Then add an Oreo cookie to garnish.
Notes
I found it easier to use a large cookie scoop to get the mixture into the jars without making a huge mix. You could also use a wide mouth canning funnel
