Preparation

• Crush the Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add the melted salted butter and pulse until the mixture resembles damp sand. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the next layers to allow it to set.
• In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in half of the Cool Whip along with 2 drops of green gel food coloring, mixing until the color is evenly incorporated. Spread this creamy, green layer evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and peppermint extract until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add 2 drops of green gel food coloring to achieve the desired green shade and mix well. Spread this pudding layer on top of the cream cheese layer. Return to the refrigerator and chill for 10 to 15 minutes to set.
• Spread the remaining Cool Whip evenly over the pudding layer. If desired, mix a small amount of Cool Whip with 1 drop of red gel food coloring and use it to pipe heart-shaped decorations on top for a festive look.
• Sprinkle the green jimmies and heart-shaped sprinkles evenly over the top of the dessert. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 to 4 hours or overnight to fully set and allow flavors to meld.
• Slice the dessert into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing, minty, and visually festive treat perfect for holiday gatherings.
