Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Reserve about ½ cup for topping. Press the remaining crumbs into the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue mixing until fluffy. Fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens, allowing it to rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Carefully fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese filling until blended.
  5. Spread the creamy filling over the prepared Oreo crust. Sprinkle the reserved Oreo crumbs, mini Oreo cookies, and pastel candies on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
