Description

A stunning no-bake dessert that layers crushed Oreos, chocolate pudding, fluffy whipped cream, and colorful M&M’s candies for a treat that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

1 pack (14 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed

1 cup M&M’s (any variety)

2 cups cold heavy whipping cream

¼ cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 box (3.4 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix

2 cups cold milk

Extra crushed Oreos (for garnish)

Extra M&M’s (for garnish)

Chocolate syrup drizzle (optional)

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until well combined. Refrigerate for about 5 minutes until thickened.
In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold half of the whipped cream into the pudding mixture to create a lighter, mousse-like texture. Set aside both the pudding mixture and the remaining whipped cream.
Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until coarsely crushed, or place in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin. Leave some larger pieces for texture.
Start with a layer of crushed Oreos at the bottom of a trifle dish or individual serving cups.
Add a layer of the pudding mixture, followed by a layer of plain whipped cream.
Sprinkle a generous handful of M&M’s over the whipped cream.
Repeat the layers (Oreos, pudding mixture, whipped cream, M&M’s) until all ingredients are used, ideally finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Top the final layer with additional crushed Oreos and M&M’s.
If desired, drizzle with chocolate syrup for an extra decadent touch.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving, though 4-6 hours is ideal for the best flavor development.

Notes

For the best texture, use very cold heavy cream and milk.
The trifle can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
For a more sophisticated presentation, create individual servings in clear glasses or mason jars.
Seasonal M&M’s colors can theme this dessert for holidays or special occasions.
Leftover trifle will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though the texture will continue to soften over time.
