Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 package cream cheese
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 2 packages instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 1 cup whipped topping for topping
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Mix the cookie crumbs with melted butter until well combined and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to create the first layer. Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese and mix until well incorporated. Fold in 1 cup of whipped topping gently until combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie crumb base, creating a smooth second layer.
- In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes until the mixture starts to thicken.
- Pour the chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly to create the third layer.
- Top the pudding layer with the remaining 1 cup of whipped topping, spreading it gently to cover the entire surface.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow layers to set completely.
- Before serving, sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles on top for garnish.
- Cut into 12 equal squares and serve chilled.
Tips
- For the most uniform cookie crust, use a food processor to create fine, even crumbs. If you don't have one, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth, lump-free layer.
- When mixing the pudding, whisk thoroughly for exactly 2 minutes to get the perfect consistency.
- For the best texture, refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for fully set layers.
- To make cutting easier, run your knife under hot water and wipe dry before slicing into squares.
- For an extra touch of elegance, use chocolate curls or premium chocolate shavings as a garnish.
- This dessert can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, making it perfect for parties and gatherings.
- For a fun variation, try using different flavored sandwich cookies or adding a drizzle of caramel on top.
