Makes 8-12 servings

Time: 1 hr. 30 min.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed Oreo chocolate cookies
  • 8 Tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans (3/4 for bottom layer, ¼ for top layer)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tsp. of vanilla extract
  • 2 8-ounce containers whipped topping
  • Two 5.9-ounce packages of chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 3 cups milk
  • ¾ cup mini chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

2. In the prepared baking dish, combine the crushed cookies, melted butter, and ¾ cup of finely chopped pecans. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and resemble coarse crumbs. Using your fingers and a piece of parchment paper, press the mixture firmly to form a compact crust. Bake for 5-7 minutes, then set aside to cool.

3. In a mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the cream cheese, confectioner’s sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in one tub of whipped topping, then spread this creamy mixture evenly over the cooled crust.

4. In a separate bowl, combine the chocolate pudding mix and milk, beating until thick and smooth. Pour the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.

5. Top the dessert with the remaining tub of whipped topping, smoothing it out to create an even layer.

6. Finally, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips and the remaining ¼ cup of chopped pecans on top for an added crunch. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Note:  A glass baking dish will make the dessert look more attractive.
