Red Velvet Oreo Dessert Recipe:

1. Prepare the Red Velvet Cake:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   • Prepare the red velvet cake according to the package instructions (or make your own red velvet cake if you prefer from scratch). Typically, mix the cake mix, eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth.
   • Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish or cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.
   • Once baked, let the cake cool completely in the pan.
2. Prepare the Oreo Crust:
   • In a medium bowl, mix the crushed Oreos and melted butter until the crumbs are well coated.
   • Press the Oreo mixture into the bottom of the 9×13-inch baking dish (or the pan you used for the cake). This will form the crust. Place it in the fridge to set while you make the other layers.
3. Make the Cream Cheese Layer:
   • In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
   • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
   • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
4. Assemble the Dessert:
   • Once the red velvet cake has cooled, crumble it into small pieces and scatter over the chilled Oreo crust, pressing gently to form a layer.
   • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the red velvet cake crumbles, smoothing it into an even layer.
5. Add the Toppings:
   • Crush 6-8 Oreos and sprinkle them over the cream cheese layer.
   • If desired, sprinkle some additional red velvet cake crumbs or crushed Oreo crumbs on top for extra color and texture.
6. Chill and Serve:
   • Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight if you have the time) to let the flavors meld and to allow it to firm up.
   • Once chilled, slice and serve this decadent dessert!

This Red Velvet Oreo Dessert is a perfect fusion of creamy, crunchy, and velvety textures, ideal for celebrations or whenever you want to treat yourself to something extra special.
