Oreo Chocolate Trifle

Hello.  Hello.  Hello.  So yummy!!

I made a similar trifle like this one back in 2005 (I date most recipes when I make things out of cookbooks) from a Southern Living cookbook.  I modified it a bit and created this heavenly beauty for some friends.  (Wouldn’t you be my friend if I brought this to your house???!!!)

2 large boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix

4 cups milk

2 (8 oz) Cool Whip, thawed

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 package of Oreo cookies, crushed into chunks

several drizzles of Hershey’s chocolate syrup

In a mixing bowl, whisk pudding with milk for about two minutes.  Cover and put in fridge to firm at least 5 minutes.  In a second mixing bowl, combine Cool Whip and cream cheese.  In a large trifle dish or big bowl, sprinkle a layer of crushed cookie over the bottom.  Add a layer of pudding, then a layer of Cool Whip mixture, then a drizzle of chocolate syrup…then repeat as many times as you like (I made 4 layers).  End with the Cool Whip mixture on top, a drizzle of syrup over that and cookies as the very top layer.

Refrigerate over night or up to 2 days in advance.  Trifles are always better if they’ve had time to sit at least 12 hours.

That’s it!  So easy and so delicious!  Invite me over…you never know what I might bring :).
