Instructions
1
Whip up the filling

In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the cream cheese, butter and confectioners' sugar together until mixture is smooth and lump-free. In another large bowl, whisk the milk and pudding mixes together for two minutes, then let the mixture stand for two minutes until the pudding is soft-set. Gradually stir the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture, then fold in the whipped topping.
3
Layer the cake
4
Spread 1-1/3 cups crushed Oreos into an ungreased 13x9-inch dish. Spoon half the pudding mixture over the crushed cookies, spread it out, then sprinkle on half the remaining cookies. Repeat the layering once more.
5
Chill and decorate
