Ingredients
vanilla pudding cups
4 (opened and emptied)
chocolate pudding cups
4 (opened and emptied)
whipping cream
1 cup (whipped to stiff peaks)
Oreo cookies
225 g (crushed into chunks)

regular-sized Oreo cookies

Instructions
1
Carefully open each pudding cup by slicing an opening into the top, then gently peel the lids back, leaving one side attached. Empty the contents into separate bowls and wash the containers for reuse.
2
In a mixing bowl, whisk the whipping cream until it reaches stiff peaks. Split the whipped cream equally between the vanilla and chocolate puddings and gently fold each until thoroughly incorporated.
3
Place the larger quantity of Oreo cookies into a resealable freezer bag and crush into rough chunks using a rolling pin or similar tool. Equally divide these crushed Oreos between the two puddings, folding them in to ensure even distribution.
4
Position one mini Oreo at the bottom of each empty pudding container. Alternate spooning chocolate and vanilla puddings into the containers in three layers to create a visually appealing pattern. Sprinkle the finely crushed Oreo pieces evenly over the top.
5
Secure the lids back onto the pudding containers, using tape to keep them firmly closed. Insert a popsicle stick into each previously sliced opening. Freeze the popsicles until they are completely firm, which should take about 4 hours or can be left overnight for convenience.
6
When ready to serve, use both thumbs to press upwards from the base of the pudding container to release the popsicle. Enjoy the delightful Oreo treat!
