Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Cookie Crust

  • 2 cups chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed (about 24 cookies)
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Creamy Chocolate Layer

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ cups cold milk
  • 1 package (3.9 ounces) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 cup heavy cream, whipped (or whipped topping)

Whipped Cream Topping

  • 2 cups heavy cream, chilled
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Garnish

  • Chocolate curls or shavings
  • Cocoa powder dusting
  • Chocolate syrup drizzle (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies and melted unsalted butter thoroughly. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish or a round springform pan if you prefer a layered presentation. Refrigerate this crust while preparing the filling to allow it to set.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Cream Layer: Using a mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix until the pudding thickens. Gently fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese mixture. Then carefully fold in the whipped heavy cream (or whipped topping) until the filling becomes light and fluffy. Spread this creamy chocolate mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust layer.
  3. Whip the Topping: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and airy texture. Spread this whipped cream topping evenly over the chocolate layer for a smooth finish.
  4. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight. This chilling step is essential to let the flavors meld together and for the dessert layers to firm up beautifully.
  5. Decorate & Serve: Before serving, garnish the top with chocolate curls or shavings, dust lightly with cocoa powder, and optionally drizzle with chocolate syrup for an extra decadent touch. Slice carefully and enjoy your luscious chocolate cream delight.

Notes

  • Use cold milk to ensure the instant pudding sets properly.
  • For a lighter twist, substitute half the heavy cream with whipped topping.
  • If you prefer a crust with more texture, pulse the cookies less finely when crushing.
  • Refrigerate overnight for best flavor infusion and firmer slices.
  • Chocolate syrup drizzle adds extra sweetness but can be omitted for a less sweet dessert.
