Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (about 15 oz)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Pudding Layer

  • 2 boxes (3.9 oz each) chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Mix the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to form an even crust layer.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Layer: Beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping to create a light, fluffy mixture. Spread this mixture evenly over the cookie crust in the dish.
  3. Prepare Pudding Layer: Whisk together the chocolate pudding mix with 3 cups of cold milk according to the package instructions until it thickens. Spread the prepared pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  4. Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow layers to set and flavors to meld perfectly.
  5. Serve: Once chilled and firm, slice into squares and serve chilled for a rich, creamy holiday treat.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier blending and smoother texture.
  • Use cold milk when mixing pudding for best consistency.
  • Press the cookie crust firmly to avoid crumbling when serving.
  • This dessert can be made a day ahead, enhancing flavor and convenience.
  • Optional: Garnish the top with additional whipped topping, chocolate shavings, or crushed cookies before serving.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
