Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 2 cups crushed chocolate chip cookies
Pudding
- 2 packages (3.4 oz each) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
Topping & Garnish
- 2 cups whipped topping
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pudding: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant vanilla pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until it thickens. Allow the pudding to sit for 5 minutes to fully set and thicken.
- Layer the Dessert: In a clear serving dish, start by layering half of the crushed chocolate chip cookies. Spread half of the prepared pudding over the cookie layer, then add half of the whipped topping on top. Repeat the layers with the remaining cookies, pudding, and whipped topping to complete the dessert assembly.
- Garnish and Chill: Sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly over the top layer as a garnish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together before serving.
Notes
- This dessert is best served chilled and can be made up to a day in advance.
- Use a clear dish for an attractive layered presentation.
- For variation, substitute vanilla pudding with chocolate or butterscotch pudding.
- To keep the whipped topping stable, use a stabilized whipped cream or prepare fresh whipped cream with a bit of sugar and vanilla extract.
- Crushed cookies can be adjusted in quantity depending on preferred layer thickness.
