Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (optional)
- 12 ounces Whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed
- 2 packages Instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups Cold milk
- 0.25 cup Chocolate shavings or sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to form the crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to set while preparing the layers.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. If using peanut butter, add it to the mixture and beat until fully incorporated.
Gently fold 1 cup of the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined. Spread this cream cheese layer evenly over the chilled crust.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
Spread the chocolate pudding layer evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Top the pudding layer with the remaining whipped topping, spreading it evenly over the surface.
If desired, garnish the top layer with chocolate shavings or sprinkles for an elegant touch.
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set completely.
Slice into squares to serve and enjoy!
