Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spay a 13×9 pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

Pour cake mix into a 13×9 pan and bake according to package directions.

In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cornstarch and salt. Add in the milk and cream and stir to combine.

Heat the milk to just under a boil.

When small bubbles start appearing on the sides of the pan, it’s time to temper the eggs.

Take 1/2 cup of the milk and slowly whisk into the egg yolks. The eggs are now tempered and ready to add the pudding.

Add the eggs to the pudding and cook for 3 minutes, then remove from the heat. Stir in the vanilla and the butter. Set pudding aside to cool a little.

With the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes in the cake.

Pour the pudding over the top of the cake, guiding the pudding into the holes. Place the cake in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Take 5 Oreos and crush the chocolate cookies into crumbs and stir them into the 8 ounces of cool whip.

Top the cake with the cool whip and return it to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.

Just before serving, crush the remaining 15 Oreo cookies and sprinkle on top of the cake. Garnish with a little chocolate syrup and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Crushing Oreos Like a Pro 🍪
Place Oreo cookies in a sealed plastic bag and use a rolling pin to create uniform, fine crumbs that will distribute evenly throughout the cake.
Poke Technique Mastery 🕳️
Use the handle of a wooden spoon to create consistent, evenly spaced holes in the cake, ensuring each slice gets maximum filling and flavor absorption.
Chill for Perfect Texture 🧊
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2-3 hours before serving to allow the filling to set completely and enhance the overall flavor melding.
Whipped Cream Stability Trick 🥛
Add a tablespoon of instant vanilla pudding mix to your whipped cream to help it maintain its structure and prevent weeping.
Crumb Coating Technique 🍰
Crush some additional Oreos extra fine and sprinkle them between cake layers for an intense cookie flavor and added textural contrast.
