How to Make No-Bake Summer Berry Delight

Ingredients

1 pkg golden Oreos
6 tbsp butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup confectioners/powdered sugar
1 cup blueberries (fresh or thawed from frozen)
1 (16 oz) container Cool Whip, thawed (divided)
2 (3.4 oz) instant strawberry pudding mix
3 cups cold milk
Fresh strawberries (sliced)
Additional blueberries
2 oz white chocolate chips

Directions

Prepare the Crust: Crush the entire package of golden Oreos using a food processor or a rolling pin until finely crushed. In a small bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with melted butter. Press the Oreo crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan to form the crust.
Make the Blueberry Cream Cheese Layer: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend the softened cream cheese and confectioners sugar until smooth. Stir in 2 cups of the thawed Cool Whip and gently mix in the blueberries. Spread the blueberry cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo crust. Chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Prepare the Strawberry Pudding Layer: Make the strawberry pudding according to package directions and let it set in the fridge for about 5 minutes. Once set, spread the pudding over the blueberry layer.
Finish with Cool Whip: Top the pudding layer with the remaining Cool Whip, spreading it evenly.
Decorate: Melt the white chocolate chips according to package instructions. Arrange sliced strawberries and additional blueberries on top, then drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dessert.
Chill: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best results.
