Creamy Oreo Trifle

I whipped up this dessert a few weeks ago when we had family over for dinner!  Rich and creamy and totally decadent!  It's the "darker" side of the usual berries and white chocolate pudding trifle that I make thru the summer months!  Layers of creamy chocolate pudding, crushed oreos and topped with lightly sweetened whipped cream!!!  So easy to make and in the fridge for just an hour, the oreos begin to get soft and cake like!  This is a winner!!!!

Ingredients:
2  16.6 oz packages Oreo cookies, coarsely crushed
2  5.9 oz boxes Jello chocolate pudding, mixed with 
5 1/2 - 6 cups whole milk
1 pint heavy whipping cream whipped with
3 tablespoons sugar


In an 8 or 9 in round trifle dish, layer Oreos then pudding.  I was able to get 6-7 layers!  Top with the slightly sweetened whipped cream and sprinkle the top with a little grated chocolate bar if desired!  Put in the fridge for at least an hour before serving!


Variation:  For a lighter, more milk chocolate flavor, use 1 box chocolate pudding and 1 box vanilla pudding instead of 2 chocolate!  Also very delicious, and for those that prefer their chocolate desserts not quite as decadent!:)
