Ingredients

Cookie Layer

  • 1 tube (16.5 oz) refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough

Whipped Cream Cheese Layer

  • 1 bar (8 oz) cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces Cool Whip divided

Pudding Layer

  • 3 cups half and half
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix

Whipped Cream Layer & Garnish (For Later)

  • 8 ounces Cool Whip thawed
  • miniature chocolate chips or chopped Chips Ahoy cookies optional for garnish

Instructions

  • Remove the tube of refrigerated cookie dough from the fridge and allow it to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • Heat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

Make The Cookie Layer

  • Cut the cookie dough into 12 slices and lay the slices into the bottom of the prepared pan in even rows. Press and smoosh the cookie dough together to form an even layer for the crust.

  • Cook for 15-17 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely before proceeding with the recipe. About 1 hour.

Make The Whipped Cream Cheese Layer

  • In a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and combined well.

  • Add in the Cool Whip and beat on low speed just until thoroughly combined.
    8 ounces Cool Whip
  • Spread the whipped cream cheese mixture in an even layer over top the cooled cookie base.

Make The Pudding Layer

  • In a separate mixing bowl, add the chocolate and vanilla instant pudding mixes and the half and half. Stir with a wire whisk for 1-2 minutes until mixed well, pudding is dissolved, and it starts to thicken. Let the pudding sit for 5 minutes.

  • Spread the pudding in an even layer over top the whipped cream cheese layer.

Whipped Cream Layer

  • Spread the remaining Cool Whip over top for the final layer. You don't have to use all of it, I use about 3/4 the container.

Chill Time & Garnish

  • Cover the pan with a lid or plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours before serving, or overnight is preferred.
  • Right before serving, add some miniature chocolate chips or chopped chocolate chip cookies (like Chips Ahoy) over top. Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!

Notes

  • I have never made this dessert using sugar-free instant pudding mixes. So if you are trying that then try at your own risk.
  • Don't substitute the half and half. You need the higher fat content from half and half, to help the layers thicken and set properly when chilling.
  • Plan ahead because this dessert needs at least 8 hours in the fridge before serving. I like to make it the day before and refrigerate it overnight, so closer to 12 hours or so.
  • I love adding some miniature chocolate chips or chopped cookies on top of the dessert. Do not add garnishes until after the chill time right before you serve it. Either mini chocolate chips or chopped cookies such as Chips Ahoy or Famous Amos (or other store-bought chocolate chip cookies) are really yummy on top. But you can also eat it plain with no toppings/garnishes and it's still so good.
