🛒 Ingredients (for one 9×13-inch pan):

For the Filling:

Instructions

📝 Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Filling

If using cream cheese: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold in Cool Whip or whipped cream. If using pudding, fold in prepared instant pudding.

Step 2: Assemble the Cake

In a 9×13-inch pan, spread a thin layer of the filling.
Place a single layer of Oreos over the filling.
Spread a layer of filling over the Oreos.
Repeat layers until all cookies and filling are used, finishing with a layer of filling on top.

Step 3: Chill

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

Step 4: Decorate

Before serving, sprinkle crushed Oreos, chocolate shavings, or berries on top. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
