Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces Oreo cookies
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 3.9 oz packages Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups Cold milk
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for chocolate ganache)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the crust. Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and stir in the melted butter until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Place in the refrigerator to chill while making the next layer.
Step 2: Make the cream cheese layer. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and continue beating until well combined. Fold in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and the vanilla extract. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the Oreo crust. Return the baking dish to the refrigerator.
Step 3: Prepare the chocolate pudding layer. In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk. Whisk until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes. Spread the pudding evenly over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to allow the pudding to set.
Step 4: Whip the remaining cream. In a clean mixing bowl, beat 1 1/2 cups of heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chocolate pudding layer as the final layer. Refrigerate while preparing the chocolate ganache.
Step 5: Make the chocolate ganache. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Let the ganache cool slightly, then drizzle it over the top of the dessert.
Step 6: Chill and serve. Refrigerate the entire dessert for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld. Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your 'Oh So Yummy Chocolate Gooey Layered Dessert'!
