• Try adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup or caramel on top for extra indulgence.
• Use flavored Oreos, such as mint or golden vanilla, to create a new twist on the classic dessert.

FAQs

Can I substitute the Cool Whip with homemade whipped cream?

Yes, you can use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip for a fresher taste. Be sure to fold it gently into the pudding mixture to maintain lightness.

Is it necessary to chill the dessert before serving?

Chilling allows the layers to set properly and the flavors to blend, making the dessert taste better and easier to slice. It is recommended to chill for at least 2 hours.
