Check out this post to find out how to make this incredible layered chocolate pudding dessert!
I spent New Years with my sister and her family. We had a blast. During our visit, she made the most incredible layered dessert. It was like a cross between a pie, a trifle and a pudding dessert.
I love the layered chocolate pudding dessert because it combines, whipped topping, cream cheese, chocolate and pie crust. It is sooooo amazing.
This is one dessert that wont last very long. Everyone will go back for seconds. We all loved it. Some of us even ate it for breakfast the next morning.
So, I got the recipe to put on this site. I have to tell you—this isn’t just any ordinary recipe. It is one that is hand written on a recipe card. To me, that is a sign that this recipe is something super spectacular! After all, it was so delicious, I wanted you to be able to try it. I promise, you wont be disappointed.
This is the perfect dessert to bring to a pot luck or event. I love it because one recipe makes enough to serve a small crowd.
It holds up really well. You can store it in the fridge and it tastes great for the next few days. I’m amazed that the crust never gets soggy. It is so delicious!

You can add nuts to the top of this pudding dessert. I prefer the chocolate chips. If you want to go really crazy, you can add chocolate chips and nuts. Either way, this dessert will be your new family favorite!

What do you do with the powered sugar? It is not mentioned in the directions.
Hi Peg! Thanks for catching it! I updated the recipe. You mix the powdered sugar with the cream cheese.
Do you use instant pudding?
Yes.
Thank you so much for your quick response. I make a graham cracker, chocolate pudding layered dessert my Italian Mom alway made for our large family and I have been making it for 50 years for mine. I always use the pudding you cook. So I would have ruined your dessert if you didn’t answer. Enjoy the holidays ahead.
P.S. I have saved your website for future enjoyment.
Thank you!
How much is a block of cream cheese? is it one 8oz package? Thanks!
Yes. Hope you enjoy it!
