First, crush two-thirds of the chocolate sandwich cookie package and press it into a 9ร—13 pan to form a solid crust. Set aside the rest for topping to add that final crunch.

2-Mix the cream cheese layer carefully: Next, in a bowl, mix the cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth, then stir in the powdered sugar and fold in the whipped topping for a creamy layer. In another bowl, whisk the pudding mix with the milk and vanilla extract to create a thick, creamy texture remember to use instant pudding and mix as directed for the best results.

3-Whisk the pudding and combine layers: Now, fold the pudding mixture into the cream cheese blend to combine everything evenly. Pour this over your cookie crust in the pan, then sprinkle the reserved crushed cookies on top.

4-Refrigerate to achieve the perfect texture: Refrigerate for a few hours to let it set,

5-Decorate just before serving for freshness: and before serving, add Easter candies like marshmallow bunnies and edible grass for a holiday flair.

Notes

๐ŸŽฏ Use instant pudding mix; cook-and-serve will not set properly.
๐Ÿฅ„ Mix pudding with milk without cooking as per instructions for ideal texture.
โ„๏ธ Keep ingredients cold and avoid over-softening cream cheese and butter for best results.
๐ŸŽ‰ Dessert can be prepared in individual servings for easy portioning.
๐Ÿƒ Make edible grass by tinting shredded coconut green with food coloring.
โฐ Make ahead up to 24 hours; add crumbs and decorations before serving.
๐Ÿฅถ Freezing is possible but better for leftovers than whole dessert.
๐Ÿฅ„ Store leftovers in individual containers for best freezing and thawing.
