Instructions

Prepare the Oreo crust: Mix ground Oreos with melted butter until combined. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Chill while preparing other layers.
Chocolate Cheesecake Layer: Beat butter and cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, cocoa mix, and cocoa powder; mix well. Gently fold in Cool Whip until combined. Spread evenly over the Oreo crust.
Mint Layer: In a large bowl, whisk pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Stir in mint extract and green food coloring until desired shade is reached. Fold in Cool Whip until smooth. Spread over the chocolate cheesecake layer.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Before serving, spread whipped cream over the top. Garnish with maraschino cherries and green sprinkles.
Slice and serve chilled.
