Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Layer

  • 1 box (18.3 oz) fudge brownie mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Cheesecake Layer

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened (can substitute with 1/3 less fat cream cheese)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), divided

Oreo Layers

  • 24 Oreo cookies, crushed (mint Oreos optional for twist)
  • 12 additional Oreos, roughly chopped

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk

Garnish

  • Remaining whipped topping (about 1 cup)
  • Chocolate shavings or mini chocolate chips
  • 6 Oreo cookies, halved

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Base: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine brownie mix, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined to avoid toughness.
  2. Bake the Brownies: Pour batter evenly into the pan and bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Cool completely on a wire rack, then cut into 1-inch squares.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Gently fold in 1 cup whipped topping until no streaks remain. Set aside.
  4. Make the Chocolate Pudding: Whisk pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly. Let stand for 5 minutes to set to a thick but pourable consistency.
  5. Crush the Oreos: Crush 24 Oreos into fine crumbs and small chunks using a rolling pin in a sealed bag. Roughly chop 12 Oreos for added texture in layers.
  6. Assemble the Trifle: Layer brownie squares at the bottom of a trifle dish. Sprinkle 1/3 of crushed Oreos, then spread half cheesecake mixture, followed by half the pudding. Add chopped Oreos. Repeat layers and top with remaining crushed Oreos.
  7. Final Garnish: Pipe or spoon remaining whipped topping around the edge. Garnish with chocolate shavings or mini chips and arrange Oreo halves decoratively.
  8. Chill to Perfection: Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and layers to set.

Notes

  • Always cool brownies completely before layering to prevent melting cheesecake.
  • Fold whipped topping gently into cheesecake to keep it airy.
  • Chill at least 3 hours; longer chilling improves flavor integration.
  • Spread layers evenly for best presentation and texture.
  • Vary Oreo textures: crushed for base and chopped for crunch.
  • Prepare components up to two days ahead for convenience.
  • This dessert does not freeze well due to texture changes in dairy layers.
