Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 16 oz Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 1 cup Chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Crushed peanuts
- 2 whole Ice cream cones (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in 12 ounces of the whipped topping (reserving 4 ounces for later) until fully incorporated and smooth.
Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the chilled crust. Return the pan to the refrigerator while preparing the chocolate layer.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 15- to 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly, then spread evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Sprinkle the crushed peanuts evenly over the chocolate layer for a nutty crunch.
Chill the torte in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
Before serving, garnish with dollops of the reserved whipped topping and small broken pieces of ice cream cones for decoration, if desired.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Drumstick Torte!
