Classic Cookie Salad Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 package of sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or cool whip for convenience)
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup chopped fruit (pineapple, strawberries, or peaches work great)
Instructions:
- Crush the cookies into small pieces but not too fine — you want some crunch.
- Whip the cream until soft peaks form. (Skip this step if using cool whip.)
- Prepare the pudding according to package instructions using milk.
- Fold the whipped cream into the pudding gently for a light, creamy texture.
- Add chopped fruit to the mixture and stir gently.
- Layer the cookie pieces and creamy fruit mixture in a bowl, alternating layers or mix it all together.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let flavors meld and cookies soften slightly.
