- 14.3 ounces Oreo Cookies 1 package
- ½ cup butter room temperature
- 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 cups milk
- 2 cups 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!)
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.

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.
