1. Place chocolate sandwich cookies in a zip-top bag and crush into fine crumbs using a rolling pin.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
3. Add instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk to the cream cheese mixture; beat until thick and creamy.
4. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the filling is light and fluffy.
5. If using, prepare the instant chocolate pudding mix according to package directions.
