Ingredients
  

  • 36 chocolate sandwich cookies finely crushed
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter melted and cooled
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces whipped topping thawed, divided
  • 2 packages instant chocolate pudding mix 3.9-ounce packages
  • 3 cups cold whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
  • ½ cup chocolate curls for topping

Method
 

  1. Crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs. Stir in the melted butter, press firmly into a 9-by-13-inch dish, and chill.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in half of the whipped topping and spread over the chilled crust.
  3. Whisk the pudding mixes with the cold milk until thickened. Spoon over the cream layer and spread gently to the edges.
  4. Spread the remaining whipped topping over the pudding. Dust with cocoa and add chocolate curls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before slicing.

Notes

  • Chill overnight for the cleanest slices.
  • Add marshmallows and chocolate curls just before serving.
