Cool layers of creamy pudding and crushed cookies, all topped with a handful of cheerful candies—this easy spring snack is a total hit with the whole gang.

# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Crust + Garnish

01 - 405 grams chocolate sandwich cookies, crumbled
02 - 225 grams pastel candies or gummy worms for the top

→ Pudding Mix

03 - 190 grams quick vanilla pudding powder
04 - 700 milliliters chilled milk

→ Cream Base

05 - 225 grams cream cheese, soft
06 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
07 - 115 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
08 - 180 grams powdered sugar
09 - 450 grams whipped topping

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Start by tossing the butter and cream cheese into a big bowl while they're super soft.
02 - Whip up the cream cheese with the butter using your mixer until the mix looks really creamy.
03 - Slowly add powdered sugar in small batches while mixing so it all blends in.
04 - Pour in vanilla, then give it a quick stir to spread that flavor everywhere.
05 - Whisk pudding powder with the cold milk in a separate bowl until it thickens a bit.
06 - Drop the pudding mixture into the cream cheese blend next, and hit it with a mixer 'til smooth.
07 - Fold gentle the whipped topping in just until it's blended and super airy.
08 - Put all those chocolate cookies into a bag and either beat with a rolling pin or blitz in the food processor.
09 - Take about 60 grams (around half a cup) of those cookie crumbs and save them for sprinkling later.
10 - Mix the leftover cookie crumbles into your creamy filling so you'll get bits in each spoonful.
11 - Spoon your creamy mix into the casserole dish and smooth the top out.
12 - Sprinkle the saved cookie crumbs all over so you get some crunch in every bite.
13 - Pop on the gummy worms or pastel candies at the end for a fun finish.
14 - Slide the casserole in your fridge and let it chill at least two hours so it’s nice and firm.
15 - Cut it into little squares and dig in while it's cold.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - If your cream cheese and butter are extra soft, mixing is easier and everything stays smooth.
02 - Let it chill in the fridge overnight for slices that stay put and taste even better.
03 - A pinch of salt in the cream base helps tame all the sweet flavors.
04 - Try swapping out the chocolate cookies for a different kind if you wanna mix it up.
