Striped Delight

The first time I had striped delight was at my would be in laws house.  It was love at first bite.  This is such a light and cool summer dessert and always goes quickly.  It's a family favorite and my mother in-law gets asked to bring this dessert to many family cookouts!

Yum.

 

Ingredients

35 Oreos
6 Tbsp.  butter, melted
1 pkg. (8 oz.)  Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup  sugar
2 Tbsp. cold milk
1 tub  (12 oz.) Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
2 pkg. (3.9 oz. each) Chocolate Instant Pudding
3-1/4 cups  cold milk

Directions

Crush Oreos until fine crumbs form. Transfer to medium bowl; mix in butter.  Press onto bottom of 13x9-inch dish. Refrigerate until ready to use.   
Beat cream cheese, sugar and 2 Tbsp. milk in medium bowl until blended. Stir in 1-1/4 cups whipped topping and spread over crust.   
Beat pudding mixes and 3-1/4 cups milk with whisk 2 min.; pour over cream cheese layer. Let stand 5 min. or until thickened; cover with remaining whipped topping. 
Refrigerate 4 hours.   

Notes: My mother in-law puts chocolate sprinkles on top!   
This is best served the same day that you make it (so the Oreos don't get to soggy).  IF you have leftovers they won't look as nicely layered the next day (the white layers start to look a bit "muddy" from the chocolate layers.   
I've also seen variations of this recipe that have a peanut butter or chocolate mint layer.
