- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 16 ounces Cool Whip Whipped Topping, thawed and divided
- 2 packages instant chocolate pudding mixes, (3.4 ounces each)
- 3 cup milk
- 2 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- green food coloring
- 1 package Easter peeps
- candy eggs, (can use Cadbury mini eggs, jelly beans, or M & M candy eggs - anything colorful works great!)
Equipment
- Toothpicks, optional
Instructions
- Spread half of the crushed Oreos in the bottom of a 9x13" pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine butter, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth. Fold in half of the Cool Whip and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix together milk and pudding until completely combined.
- Combine cream cheese mixture and chocolate pudding mixture in a big bowl and spread over the top of the Oreos in the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle the remaining Oreos on top of the pudding mixture.
- Carefully spread the remaining Cool Whip on top of the Oreos.
- Place the cake in the fridge and let chill for 3-4 hours.
- Before serving, remove cake from fridge.
- In a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, add coconut and a few drops of green food coloring. Mix together until all the coconut is tinted lightly green. Add more food coloring to get the shade of green you want to make a coconut grass for the top of the cake.
- Arrange the coconut grass, Peeps, and candy eggs on the top of the cake.
Notes
To crush the Oreo cookies, you could pulse it in a blender, pulse it in a food processor, or place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush with a rolling pin.
If you are struggling to get the Peeps to stand up straight, use a toothpick stuck into the cake to prop them up.
