Ingredients
Crust
- 36 chocolate sandwich cookies (like Oreos)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick, melted)
Chocolate Cream Cheese Layer
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup butter (softened to room temperature)
- 5 envelopes hot chocolate mix
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 8 ounces whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Chocolate Pudding Layer
- 7.8 ounces instant chocolate pudding mix (2 boxes, 3.9 ounces each)
- 2 3/4 cups milk
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Topping
- 8 ounces whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- Chocolate syrup for drizzling
Instructions
- Prepare the cookie crumbs: Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse a few times until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place cookies in a zip closure plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin or mallet.
- Line the baking dish: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper to facilitate easy removal of the dessert later.
- Form the crust: In a bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the melted butter and stir thoroughly until all crumbs are moistened. Press the mixture down evenly into the lined baking dish to form a firm crust.
- Make chocolate cream cheese layer: Using an electric mixer, beat the softened cream cheese and softened butter together in a large bowl until creamy and smooth. Add the hot chocolate mix and powdered sugar, then blend again until fully incorporated.
- Add whipped topping: Gently fold in one container (8 ounces) of whipped topping into the chocolate cream cheese mixture. Spread this layer evenly over the cookie crust in the baking dish.
- Prepare pudding layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened. Stir in 1 cup of mini marshmallows evenly.
- Assemble pudding layer: Carefully spread the pudding and marshmallow mixture evenly over the chocolate cream cheese layer in the dish.
- Add final toppings: Spread the remaining container (8 ounces) of whipped topping over the pudding layer. Sprinkle 2 cups mini marshmallows on top and drizzle with chocolate syrup to garnish.
- Chill the dessert: Refrigerate the assembled dessert for at least 2 hours to set. For easier slicing, place in the freezer before serving.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easy blending.
- For a firmer crust, press the crumbs down firmly with the back of a spoon or glass.
- For best results, chill the dessert overnight if time allows to enhance flavors and texture.
- You can substitute whipped topping with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
