Ingredients
Scale
- 30 Oreo cookies (crushed)
- 2 cups (480 ml/16 fl oz) small marshmallows
- 1.5 cups (360 ml/12 fl oz) milk
- 8 oz (226 g) Cool Whip, thawed
- 3.4 oz (96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
Instructions
- Pudding Preparation: Whisk vanilla pudding mix with whole milk until achieving a velvety, lump-free cream with a silky smooth consistency.
- Whipped Infusion: Delicately incorporate whipped topping, maintaining the mixture’s ethereal lightness while creating a luxurious base.
- Cookie Integration: Fracture Oreo cookies into rustic fragments and fold gently into the pudding mixture, ensuring even distribution and maintaining distinct cookie chunks throughout the dessert.
- Marshmallow Incorporation: Softly introduce miniature marshmallows, blending them seamlessly without compromising the mixture’s delicate structure.
- Chilling and Setting: Transfer the concoction to a serving vessel, leveling the surface, then refrigerate for a minimum of one hour to allow flavor development and complete structural harmonization.
- Final Presentation: Moments before serving, embellish the chilled creation with additional crushed Oreo cookies, providing a tantalizing textural dimension and visual intrigue.
Notes
- Chill for Optimal Texture: Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour to allow the flavors to blend and the cookies to soften slightly, creating a more cohesive and delightful dessert experience.
- Gentle Mixing Matters: Use a folding technique when incorporating whipped topping and cookies to maintain the light, airy texture and prevent deflating the mixture.
- Cookie Consistency is Key: Break Oreo cookies into uneven, coarse pieces for varied texture and visual interest, avoiding overly fine crumbs that might make the salad too uniform.
- Serve Fresh for Best Results: Add extra crushed Oreos just before serving to preserve their crunch and prevent them from becoming too soggy during extended refrigeration.
