For the Layers:
1 (15.35 oz) package of Oreo cookies, crushed
2 cups cold milk

1 cup powdered sugar
12 oz whipped topping (Cool Whip), thawed
For the Toppings:

Prepare the Pudding Mixture:
In a medium bowl, whisk together cold milk and vanilla pudding mix until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
Make the Cream Cheese Mixture:
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping, then gently mix in the prepared pudding until well combined.

In a 9x9-inch casserole dish, spread half of the crushed Oreo cookies evenly on the bottom.
Layer half of the pudding mixture on top of the cookies.
Repeat the layers with the remaining crushed Oreos and pudding mixture.
