Description

This Easy No Bake Dessert is creamy, rich, and incredibly simple to make. I love preparing it when I want something sweet without turning on the oven. With smooth cream layers, crunchy biscuit base, and a light pudding texture, it’s the perfect chilled dessert for family gatherings, parties, or busy weeknights. Every bite feels comforting, sweet, and homemade with love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping
  • 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 cups cold milk
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • Fresh strawberries (optional topping)
  • Chocolate syrup for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Mix crushed graham crackers with melted butter until well combined.
  2. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a baking dish to form the crust.
  3. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while preparing the filling.
  4. Beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then mix well.
  6. Fold in whipped topping until light and fluffy.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thickened.
  8. Spread cream cheese mixture over the chilled crust evenly.
  9. Add pudding layer on top and smooth it out.
  10. Sprinkle chocolate chips across the surface.
  11. Top with whipped topping if desired.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours until fully set.
  13. Garnish with strawberries and chocolate syrup before serving.

Notes

Make sure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth texture. This dessert tastes even better when chilled overnight. You can swap graham crackers with chocolate cookies or digestive biscuits. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For extra flavor, add caramel drizzle or crushed nuts before serving.
