Recipe: My World Famous Oreo Pudding

As a treat for Thanksgiving, here's a recipe that is sure to delight. I learned this from my mother, and I'm going to share it with you. It's very amazing, and everyone loves it. The best part is it is so simple. It takes only a few minutes to make this great dessert, and it's very cheap to make, no matter the amount.

You'll need:
1 or 2 packages of Oreos, depending on how much you like in your pudding
1 regular-size tub of Cool Whip (can even use the Sugar Free or Fat Free kind)
1 can of sweetened condensed milk (I use Eagle brand)
2 small boxes or 1 large box of Jello vanilla pudding
2% milk

Make sure you thaw the Cool Whip ahead of time or else it's hard to stir it in.

Combine milk, condensed milk, and pudding mix in a large mixing bowl. Make sure you stir it well because the Eagle brand is thick and takes to some time to fuse with the other ingredients. Once all of those are mixed well, add Cool Whip and mix it in very well. Break up Cool Whip clumps. Using an electric beater here, because it makes this so much easier. Once the pudding is finished, crumble Oreos into the mix, breaking them into pieces the size you desire. I use my hands. Stir the Oreos in, making sure to get them all the way to the bottom. Then put the pudding in the fridge to set. Once it's set you can add crumbled Oreos to the top for appearance. That's it!

I make this in huge quantities to feed my husband's shop on base. They rave about it. I try to use the sugar-free versions as much as possible in the ingredients since there's so much in the Oreos and condensed milk. 

Another great thing I need to say is that this recipe can easily be changed to banana pudding. Just change out the Oreos for banana and wafers. If you want an extra kick, swap the vanilla pudding for banana cream pudding. Yum!

Well, everyone, have a wonderful holiday!
