Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped
- 2 3.9 oz boxes instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups milk
- 0.5 cup chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the next layer.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in 1 cup of the whipped cream gently until well-mixed.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Return the dish to the refrigerator to keep cool.
In another bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until it thickens (about 2 minutes). Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped cream, spreading it evenly with a spatula to create the final layer.
Optional: Sprinkle chocolate shavings or sprinkles evenly over the top for decoration.
Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to fully set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
