Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Crust Base
- 1 1/2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos, without the cream filling)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Creamy Layers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup instant hot chocolate mix
- 1 1/2 cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Whipped Topping
- 1 1/2 cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)
Toppings (Optional)
- Chocolate shavings
- Mini chocolate chips
- Crushed peppermint candies
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Crust: Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin. Mix the crumbs with melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish to create an even crust. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Make the Cream Cheese Layer: Beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and hot chocolate mix, mixing until well combined. Fold in the whipped cream until smooth. Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust.
- Prepare the Chocolate Pudding: Whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it evenly.
- Add the Whipped Topping: Spread the whipped cream evenly over the pudding layer.
- Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set. Before serving, garnish with your favorite toppings, such as chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips, crushed peppermint candies, or a dusting of cocoa powder.
Notes
- For best results, chill the layered dessert overnight to allow flavors to meld and layers to set firmly.
- You can substitute whipped topping for the whipped cream for convenience.
- Use gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Add crushed peppermint candies for a festive holiday twist.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
