Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate cookie crumbs (like Oreos)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cream Cheese Layer:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Chocolate Pudding Layer:
- 1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 3/4 cups cold milk
Toppings:
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the chocolate cookie crumbs with the melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form an even crust. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the other layers.
- Cream Cheese Layer: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Spread this mixture over the chilled crust in an even layer.
- Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer in an even layer.
- Top with Whipped Topping and Toppings: Spread the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer. Sprinkle with chopped pecans, then drizzle with caramel sauce and chocolate sauce.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the dessert is firm and chilled.
- Serve: Slice and serve chilled, and enjoy the delicious layers of this turtle-inspired treat!
Notes
- Make sure to press the crust firmly to avoid crumbling when serving.
- For best results, chill the assembled dessert overnight.
- You can substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream if desired.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer taste and creamier texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
