Ingredients

Scale

Cake Base:

  • 14.3 ounces (405 grams) vanilla sandwich cookies
  • 6 tablespoons (85 grams) salted butter, melted

Filling:

  • 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup (90 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6.8 ounces (192 grams) vanilla-flavored instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups (480 milliliters) whole milk

Topping and Garnish:

  • 16 ounces (454 grams) frozen whipped topping
  • 1/4 cup (40 grams) rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Pulverize vanilla sandwich cookies in a food processor until finely ground, blending with melted butter to create a cohesive crust mixture.
  2. Firmly press the cookie-butter blend into a greased 9×13-inch dish, then chill in refrigerator to solidify the base.
  3. Whip cream cheese and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until achieving a silky, lump-free consistency.
  4. Fold in whipped topping and vanilla extract, gently incorporating until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
  5. In a separate container, combine instant pudding mix with whole milk, whisking vigorously until the mixture thickens and develops a creamy texture.
  6. Carefully spread the cream cheese layer evenly across the chilled cookie crust, ensuring complete coverage.
  7. Gently pour the prepared pudding layer over the cream cheese, creating a distinct and clean separation between layers.
  8. Top the dessert with remaining whipped topping, distributing it uniformly across the surface.
  9. Liberally scatter rainbow sprinkles over the entire dessert, adding a festive and colorful finish.
  10. Refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and layers to set completely.
  11. Before serving, garnish with additional sprinkles for extra visual appeal and celebratory touch.

Notes

  • Crush cookies thoroughly to create a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
  • Ensure cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature for a silky, lump-free filling that spreads easily.
  • Chill the dessert for the full 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and layers to set firmly.
  • Customize the dessert by using different cookie flavors or adding colorful birthday cake-themed sprinkles for extra festive flair.
