*Craving a decadent yet easy-to-make dessert? Chocolate Cookie Delight layers a chocolate chip cookie base with creamy fillings and a whipped topping for a crowd-pleasing treat. This dessert, ready in about 15 minutes, is ideal for both casual weeknights and special gatherings.
Per Butter Your Biscuit, start with a pre-made chocolate chip cookie dough crust, pressed into a 9×13-inch baking dish and baked until golden. Let it cool completely to ensure a sturdy foundation. “Chilling the cookie layer while working on the rest of the layers will help the crust stay firm,” the recipe advises.
Next, blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar using an electric mixer until smooth. Spread this sweet, creamy layer over the cooled crust, then chill it in the refrigerator to set while preparing the next step.
Whisk instant dark chocolate pudding mix with whole milk until thick, then layer it evenly over the cream cheese. “I’d just make sure it’s the instant chocolate pudding mix,” the recipe notes. Return the dish to the fridge to firm up.
