Deep South Eats: Oreo Pudding Cake

When looking for the perfect dessert for our annual Valentine's date at home, I had a hard time deciding between elegant and decadent. Decadent completely won as taste is always better than appearance. My husband has a love of all things Oreo and when I stumbled upon this recipe from Pinterest, I knew it would be a hit.


The best part of this recipe is the simplicity...4 ingredients! It can be made ahead of time, or within one hour of serving which gives flexibility of preparation. I loved the creamy coolness of the pudding with the dense chocolate cake. The end result is a decent amount of dessert, making a perfect dessert for company or large groups.


Ingredients:

• 1 box of chocolate cake mix (and ingredients per box instructions)
• 2 (4 ounce) boxes of instant Oreo pudding mix
• 4 cups cold milk (2% or higher)
• Oreo crumbs or individual cookies

Directions:

• Prepare cake according to package instructions and bake in a well-greased 9x13 pan.
• Towards the end of the cake's cooking time, prepare pudding. Whisk 4 cups of cold milk into the 2 boxes of instant Oreo pudding mix until all lumps have disappeared. Allow pudding to set for 2 minutes.
• Once cake is finished, while still warm, poke holes all over cake using a straw or skewer.
• Pour pudding mixture over warm cake.
• Allow cake to cool on the counter for several minutes. Cover in plastic wrap and place in the fridge to set for at least an hour.
• When ready to serve top with crushed Oreo crumbs or top individual slices with an Oreo cookie.
