Description
A delightful no-bake layered dessert combining chocolate, cream cheese, and crunchy pecans.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 3/4 cups cold milk
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the other layers.
- Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until you achieve a smooth and creamy texture. Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Spread this delightful mixture over the chilled crust in an even layer.
- Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer, making sure it’s even.
- Top with Whipped Topping and Toppings: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer. Now, sprinkle the chopped pecans on top, then drizzle with caramel sauce and chocolate sauce.
- Chill: Cover your dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the dessert to firm up and chill.
- Serve: Once set, slice and serve chilled.
Notes
For an extra touch, serve with additional drizzles of caramel or chocolate sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
