Creating the Oreo Dirt Cake Recipe is easy when you follow these steps:

1. Crush Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin until fine. Set aside 1 cup of crushed Oreos for topping later.
2. Prepare Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and the remaining crushed Oreos. Mix well until fully combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish to form a crust.
3. Make Cream Cheese Mixture: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
4. Incorporate Whipped Topping: Gently fold in the whipped topping to the cream cheese mixture until well blended and smooth.
5. Prepare Pudding: In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens.
6. Layer Ingredients: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crust in the baking dish. Pour half of the chocolate pudding on top and smooth it out. Repeat the layers with the remaining cream cheese mixture and chocolate pudding.
7. Top with Crushed Oreos: Finally, sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos on top of the final pudding layer for decoration.
8. Chill: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or overnight to allow it to set.
9. Serve: Once chilled, slice the cake and serve it cold.
