Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Build Your Cookie Crust

Start by crushing your chocolate sandwich cookies a food processor makes quick work of this, but a zip-top bag and rolling pin do the trick too. Mix the crumbs with melted butter and press firmly into a 9×13-inch baking dish to form a solid crust. Chill the crust while you prep the filling.

Step 2: Layer the Goodness

In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk, then mix well. Fold in 1¼ cups of the whipped topping. Spread this cream layer over the crust and return the dish to the fridge.

Next, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with 3¼ cups of cold milk until thickened (about 5 minutes). Gently spread it over the cream cheese layer. Chill for 10 minutes, then top with the remaining whipped topping. Finish with a generous sprinkle of mini chocolate chips. Refrigerate at least 4 hours before serving.

The layering process is relaxing and quick and the results? Outrageously good. It slices beautifully after setting and looks as good as it tastes.
