My family has always been obsessed with Oreos and any dessert that has Oreos in it. Oreo shake, Oreo cupcakes, Oreo cheesecake, Oreo pie, you name it and if it has Oreos in it, and I’m certain we’d all be obsessed. So of course I’m always looking for new ways to use Oreos in some sort of yummy treat. A few months back I came up with my Peanut Butter Oreo Delight recipe on our blog, and everyone that tried it was raving about it. I mean lets get real though, Oreos and peanut butter combined into one dessert is a no-brainer.
With the peanut butter Oreo dessert being such a big hit, I figured why not a mint Oreo dessert. I do love myself some mint chocolate flavor, and this Layered Mint Oreo dessert delivers all the mint chocolate flavor I love and more. Layered with mint Oreos, chocolate pudding and a yummy mint cream cheese layer, this dessert no doubt is a new favorite at our house. It’s perfect for the holidays with it’s green minty layer,. It’s also refreshing for summer BBQs, with its light and cool flavors, and can make a a great appearance at any Easter or St. Patrick’s Day party this year.
Don’t doubt the deliciousness of this Mint Oreo Layered Dessert because I’m certain if you are a fan of mint Oreos, then you will definitely be a fan of this treat.
