Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Buttery round crackers (crushed)
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (melted)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 16 ounces Frozen whipped topping (thawed)
- 2 Chocolate instant pudding mix (3.9 oz packages)
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed buttery round crackers and melted butter. Mix until fully combined.
Press the cracker-butter mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form an even crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
In another mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in 1 cup of the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture.
Spread this cream cheese layer evenly over the cooled crust.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and milk until the pudding thickens.
Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Spread the remaining whipped topping evenly over the chocolate pudding layer to create the fourth layer.
For garnish, sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings or sprinkles, if desired.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or until fully set.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
