4 Layer Delight
This impressive chocolate 4 layer dessert is actually easy to make, and every single bite is perfectly scrumptious!
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- ½ cup butter or margarine
- ½ cup finely chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans
Layer 1:
- 8 oz pkg cream cheese softened (I used light)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup cream whipped (Save half for the top layer)
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar more or less
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Layer 2:
- 2 3 oz boxes of instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 ½ cups milk
Layer 3:
- Whipped cream leftover from filling
- Chocolate curls optional
Instructions
- For crust: Mix all ingredients together well and press into the bottom of a glass 9x13" pan. Bake at 375 for about 12-15 minutes or till very lightly browned. Let cool completely.
- Layer 1: Whip the 1 cup of cream till it holds soft peaks. Add sugar and vanilla to taste. (I don't like it really sweet.) Set it aside.
- Beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar till smooth and creamy. Fold in only about half of the whipped cream. Spread on top of cooled crust. Cover the bowl of remaining whipped cream and place it in the refrigerator.
- Layer 2: Beat the pudding and milk for about 1 minute. Quickly pour over the cream cheese layer. Cover with plastic wrap and chill till pudding is set, about 1 hour.
- Layer 3: Carefully spread the remaining whipped cream over the pudding layer. Top with chocolate curls if desired.
