This layered Oreo dessert combines a crushed cookie crust with a creamy filling and whipped topping for a no-bake treat that comes together in about 20 minutes. Crushed Oreos appear in both the base and as a topping, keeping that familiar cookies-and-cream flavor throughout every layer. It chills in the refrigerator for a few hours before slicing and serving.
Prepare the Oreo Crust: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Combine the crumbs with melted butter until evenly coated. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to form the base. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
Make the Cream Cheese Layer: In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer. Gently fold in half of the Cool Whip until well combined. Spread this layer evenly over the chilled Oreo crust.
Prepare the Pudding Layer: In another bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and milk until thickened, approximately 3 minutes. Carefully spread over the cream cheese layer.
Add Final Layer and Chill: Spread the remaining Cool Whip on top of the pudding layer. Garnish with mini Oreo cookies or crumble additional Oreos on top for decoration. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.
Serve: Slice into pieces and serve chilled. Each bite will offer a delightful combination of creamy, crunchy, and chocolately flavors that truly encapsulate a sweet Oreo experience.

Notes
Consider adding a touch of espresso powder to the cream cheese layer for a coffee-infused twist.
