Ingredients

Scale

1 package (14–16 oz) chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos), crushed
1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
3 cups cold milk (for puddings)
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed
1–1.5 cups Easter candy eggs (e.g., Cadbury Mini Eggs, M&M’s Eggs)
Optional: green-dyed shredded coconut, gummy worms, bunny marshmallows

Instructions

Crush the sandwich cookies using a food processor or zip-top bag with a rolling pin. Set aside 1/2 cup for topping.
In one bowl, whisk chocolate pudding mix with 1.5 cups cold milk until thickened. Do the same with vanilla pudding in another bowl. Let both set for 5 minutes.
In a third bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping gently.
In a 9×13 dish, layer: crushed cookies, chocolate pudding, cream cheese mixture.
Add another cookie layer, then the vanilla pudding.
Optionally, top with a thin layer of remaining whipped topping.
Just before serving, decorate with reserved cookie crumbs, candy eggs, and coconut “grass.”
Chill at least 2–4 hours or overnight.
