Description

This luscious no-bake dessert combines rich layers of chocolate pudding and tangy cheesecake filling with the bright sweetness of fresh strawberries. By layering these ingredients with chocolate-covered graham crackers, you create a soft, cake-like texture that is perfectly refreshing for hot summer days.

2 packages (3.9 oz each) instant chocolate pudding mix
3 cups cold whole milk
8 oz cream cheese, softened
8 oz whipped topping, thawed
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 box chocolate-covered graham crackers

Instructions

Whisk the cold milk and instant chocolate pudding mix in a medium bowl until smooth and thickened, then place it in the refrigerator to set.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and whipped topping until the mixture is fluffy and well-combined, then stir in the confectioners’ sugar.
Arrange a base layer of chocolate-covered graham crackers in a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Spread one-third of the cream cheese mixture over the crackers and sprinkle with a layer of cookie crumbs.
Add a second layer of graham crackers, then spread one-third of the chilled chocolate pudding on top, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries and toffee bits.
Continue layering the crackers, cream mixtures, and fruit until the dish is full, finishing with a decorative topping of strawberries and toffee.
Cover the dish tightly and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the crackers to soften into a cake-like consistency before serving.

Notes

For the cleanest slices, wipe your knife with a warm, damp cloth between every cut. If you prefer a firmer dessert that holds its shape longer at room temperature, you can substitute the whipped topping with two cups of heavy cream whipped to stiff peaks with a little extra sugar.
