Ingredients

For the Cookie Crust:

  • 1 (16.5 oz) package refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough

Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Chocolate Pudding Layer:

  • 1 (3.4 oz) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups whole milk

Whipped Topping:

  • 8 oz Cool Whip (or any whipped topping), thawed
  • Mini chocolate chips or chocolate curls (optional, for garnish)

 Instructions

  1. Bake the Cookie Crust
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Press the chocolate chip cookie dough evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
    Let it cool completely on a wire rack (about 20–30 minutes).
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling
    In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together with a hand mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy.
    Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
    Refrigerate while preparing the next layer.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Pudding
    In a separate bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix and whole milk together for about 3 minutes, until it starts to thicken.
    Gently spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer using a spatula.
  4. Chill the Layers
    Cover the dish and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours to set properly.
  5. Add the Final Topping
    Once chilled, spread the whipped topping evenly over the pudding layer.
    Sprinkle with mini chocolate chips or chocolate curls for a decorative and tasty finish.
  6. Serve and Enjoy
    Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice into squares and enjoy this decadent layered treat!
