Ingredients:
For the Crust:
• 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (such as Oreos, crushed)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cream Cheese Layer:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
For the Chocolate Pudding Layer:
• 2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
• 3 cups cold milk
For the Topping:
• 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
• 1/2 cup chocolate shavings or chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Prepare the Crust:
In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layers.
2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Layer:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer.
4. Add the Topping:
Gently spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or chocolate chips for an extra touch of decadence.
5. Chill and Serve:
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set. Cut into squares and enjoy!
