Description

A no-bake dessert with layers of Oreo crust, chocolate pudding, cream cheese, and caramel-pecan topping. Creamy, crunchy, and rich—perfect for any occasion with 12 indulgent slices.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust:
1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Chocolate Pudding Layer:
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
2 cups cold milk

Cream Cheese Layer:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped topping (Cool Whip)

Topping:
1½ cups whipped topping (Cool Whip)
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup caramel sauce
¼ cup hot fudge sauce
¼ cup mini chocolate chips


Instructions

Prepare the crust: Mix crushed Oreo cookies with melted butter. Press into a 9×13-inch baking dish and chill.
Make the chocolate pudding layer: Whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Set aside.
Prepare the cream cheese layer: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping. Spread over crust.
Add the pudding layer: Spread chocolate pudding over the cream cheese layer.
Top the dessert: Spread remaining whipped topping, then sprinkle pecans and mini chocolate chips. Drizzle with caramel and hot fudge sauces.
Chill for 4 hours or until set. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

For a firmer crust, freeze the Oreo layer for 10 minutes before adding the cream cheese mixture.
Use full-fat cream cheese for a richer, creamier texture.
Chill the mixing bowl and beaters before whipping the cream cheese for smoother results.
Let the caramel and hot fudge sauces warm slightly for easier drizzling.
Toast the pecans lightly for extra depth of flavor.
Nut-Free: Omit pecans and add toasted coconut flakes instead.
Healthier Option: Substitute low-fat cream cheese and whipped topping for reduced calories.
