Notes
1. Chill time is essential for clean layers and thicker pudding ; Substitute chocolate graham crumbs for the Oreo layer or use gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies ; Use homemade whipped cream in place of whipped topping by whipping 2 cups heavy cream with 1/3 cup powdered sugar to stiff peaks ; For deeper chocolate flavor use chocolate fudge pudding mix or add 1 tbsp cocoa powder to the pudding whisk
