Ingredients
Scale
- For the crust:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup chocolate cookie crumbs
- For the chocolate cream layer:
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- For topping:
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish to form the crust. Set aside.
- Make the chocolate cream layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Allow to cool slightly. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth. Add the powdered sugar and beat until well combined.
- Combine ingredients: Fold the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until smooth and light.
- Assemble the dessert: Spread the chocolate cream layer evenly over the prepared crust. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is set.
- Top and serve: Before serving, top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings. Slice and enjoy the rich, creamy layers of your Layered Chocolate Delight.
Notes
- For the best texture, ensure that the cream cheese is at room temperature.
- You can substitute whipped topping for homemade whipped cream if desired.
