Total time: 6 hours (including chilling)

Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients:

2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs

1/2 cup melted butter

2 cups vanilla pudding (prepared)

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)

1 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup chocolate shavings or crumbs

Instructions:

1. Mix chocolate cookie crumbs with melted butter and press into the bottom of a pan to form the crust. Chill for 15 minutes.

2. Beat cream cheese until smooth, then mix in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.

3. Fold in prepared vanilla pudding and whipped cream until light and fluffy.

4. Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the chilled crust.

5. In a saucepan or microwave, heat heavy cream and pour over chocolate chips. Stir until smooth to create ganache.

6. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top, spreading evenly.

7. Sprinkle chocolate shavings or crumbs over the ganache.

8. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set. Slice and serve chilled.

Pro Tip:

For the best texture, let it chill overnight—this helps the layers firm up and makes slicing super clean and satisfying 🤤
