- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled cookie crust.
- Spread the prepared chocolate pudding layer over the cream cheese layer.
- Top with the remaining whipped topping, smoothing it out evenly.
- Garnish with mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings if desired.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight to allow the layers to firm up and set.
- Serve chilled, cutting into squares. Enjoy!
Notes
If you prefer, add a peanut butter layer between the cream cheese and chocolate layers for a peanut butter-chocolate twist.
Use gluten-free cookies for a gluten-free version, and ensure that the pudding mix is gluten-free as well.
This dessert is best enjoyed within a few days for the freshest taste, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
If making ahead, this dessert is perfect for preparing the day before serving. Just keep it well-covered and refrigerated.
