Ingredients
Method
- Prepare the crust by crushing chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until fine and mixing with melted butter. Press into the bottom of a baking dish and refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until light and airy. Fold in half of the whipped topping and red food coloring to achieve a vibrant shade, then spread over the crust.
- In another bowl, whisk together instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened. Spread over the red cream layer.
- Top with remaining whipped topping and sprinkle with chocolate shavings or cookie crumbs.
- Chill for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
Notes
Use organic cocoa and natural colorants for best results. Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. For a firmer texture when frozen, wrap tightly and thaw in the fridge before serving.
