A dessert easy enough that anyone can make! The homemade brownie is a rich chocolatey flavor, with a dense fudgy texture. The pudding layers add a light and airiness to the dessert, while still being decadent and rich.

The brownie recipe uses oil instead of butter to create a denser texture. If using butter in brownies it will create a cake like texture. Usually cornstarch is used to just thicken liquid, but in this recipe, it helps keep the brownies moist. While you can use a boxed brownie, these are superior in my opinion based on the amount of cocoa powder in them. It will be a thin layer of brownie so that there is plenty of room for pudding.

Start by making the brownies, in a mixing bowl whisk all the dry ingredients together. In a separate bowl mix together the wet ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix and stir until fully combined. In a 9×13 greased pan, pour in brownie batter, bake for 22-26 minutes at 375°. Let cool and start on pudding.

All you must do is mix up the puddings as directed on the box. Start with the vanilla pudding and layer onto the brownies. Crumble up the Oreos into fine pieces. Sprinkle onto the vanilla layer, and then top with the chocolate layer. Finishing with the cool whip and then more Oreos.
