Tips & Tricks
- Use a food processor for the Oreos – It makes the crust finer and easier to press into the dish.
- Let each layer chill briefly – Pop it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes after each step to keep layers clean.
- Use cold milk for pudding – It helps it set properly and stay smooth.
- Don’t skip the chill time – Giving it 2–3 hours in the fridge helps it slice beautifully.
- Swap in other pudding flavors – Try chocolate fudge, cookies and cream, or even peanut butter pudding for a twist!
