INSTRUCTIONS

Cookie Crust

  • Mix cookie crumbs with melted butter and sugar until evenly moistened

Cream Cheese Layer

  • Beat cream cheese until smooth then beat in powdered sugar and vanilla until fluffy
  • fold in whipped topping until no streaks remain
  • spread evenly over chilled crust and chill 10 minutes.

Chocolate Pudding Layer

  • Whisk pudding mix with cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened then rest 5 minutes to set
  • spread pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer.

Topping And Chill

  • Spread whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer
  • garnish as desired

Notes

1. For a firmer crust chill 20 minutes before adding the next layer. Substitute graham cracker crumbs for cookie crumbs for a lighter chocolate flavor. Use whole milk for the thickest pudding set and clean slices. Let cream cheese fully soften to avoid lumps
