Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Oreo Crust

1. Line the baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
2. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor or in a sealed bag using a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
3. Mix Oreo crumbs with melted butter until well combined.

8. Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated.

Step 3: Add Color (Optional)
9. If using food coloring, divide the mixture into three bowls.
10. Leave one white, and tint the others red and blue.
11. Spoon dollops of each color over the crust and swirl gently with a knife or skewer for a marbled effect.

Step 4: Decorate & Chill
12. Sprinkle the top with red, white, and blue sprinkles.
13. Garnish with extra Oreo pieces if desired.
14. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
