Ingredients
Crust
- 32 Oreo cookies (3 cups of cookie crumbs)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
Ganache
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter (softened)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 – 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 2 (3.56 ounce) boxes chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold milk
Topping
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- Chocolate curls
- Chocolate sauce (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare Crust: Add the 32 Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, crush cookies in a sealed bag using a rolling pin. Mix cookie crumbs with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and melted 1/2 cup butter until coated. Press firmly into the bottom of a 9×13 glass pan and chill in the fridge.
- Make Ganache: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips with 1/2 cup heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Chill the ganache in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes while preparing the next layer.
- Prepare Cream Cheese Layer: Beat 8 ounces softened cream cheese until creamy. Add 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon softened butter; beat until blended. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Assemble Cream Cheese Layer: Spread dollops of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled crust using an angled spatula. Drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup on top, swirling lightly with a toothpick without disturbing the crust. Pour the chilled ganache over the cream cheese layer and spread evenly to edges.
- Prepare Pudding Layer: Whisk together the contents of the two 3.56 ounce chocolate pudding boxes with 3 cups cold milk until thickened, about 2 minutes. Pour the pudding over the ganache layer, spreading evenly while pouring near edges to avoid disturbing the layers beneath.
- Make Whipped Cream Topping: Beat 2 cups heavy whipping cream with 1/4 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Dollop the whipped cream over the pudding and spread evenly.
- Decorate: Spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate syrup into a sandwich bag, cut a small hole in a corner, and pipe a crisscross pattern over the whipped cream. Sprinkle chocolate curls on top for garnish.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled dessert until pudding firms up, preferably overnight. Cut into 15 pieces and serve cold.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dessert overnight to allow layers to set fully.
- If you don’t have a food processor, use a rolling pin to crush the Oreo cookies finely.
- Adjust chocolate syrup drizzling according to taste for decoration and flavor intensity.
- This dessert is best served cold and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use a glass or clear pan if possible to showcase the beautiful layers when serving.
