Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (3.9-ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold whole or 2% milk
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (3/4 stick), melted
  • 1 (about 13-ounce) package crunchy chocolate chip cookies (e.g., Chips Ahoy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
  • 3/4 cup packed light or dark brown sugar, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips, divided

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Pan:
    • Let the cream cheese sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes to soften.
    • Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhangs on all sides to create a sling.
  2. Make the Chocolate Pudding:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes). Set aside.
  3. Create the Cookie Crust:
    • Break chocolate chip cookies into coarse pieces and pulse them in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, crush them in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
    • Mix the crumbs with melted butter and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt until they resemble wet sand.
    • Press the cookie mixture evenly into the prepared pan to form a crust.
  4. Whip the Cream:
    • In a stand mixer bowl, combine heavy cream, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk on high speed until stiff peaks form (2–4 minutes). Transfer to another bowl.
  5. Prepare the Cream Cheese Layer:
    • In the same mixer bowl, combine softened cream cheese, remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, vanilla extract, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
    • Fold in 1 cup of the whipped cream and 1/3 cup miniature chocolate chips.
  6. Assemble the Dessert:
    • Spread the chocolate pudding evenly over the cookie crust.
    • Layer the cream cheese mixture over the pudding.
    • Top with the remaining whipped cream.
  7. Chill the Dessert:
    • Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  8. Add Final Touches and Serve:
    • Sprinkle the top with reserved cookie crumbles and 2 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips.
    • Use the parchment sling to lift the dessert out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
    • Slice into 12 squares and serve.

Notes

  • Room-Temperature Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese ensures a smoother filling.
  • Crush Cookies Thoroughly: A uniform crust helps maintain stable layers.
  • Chill for Best Results: Ensure layers are fully set before slicing.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
