Ingredients
1. For the crust
2. For the cream layer
3. For the pudding layer
4. For topping
Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep the pan
Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a pie/tart pan or line it so the crust releases easily.
Mix the crust
Combine melted margarine, flour, and confectioners' sugar. Stir in cocoa powder or grated chocolate until you get a crumbly, sandy mixture.
Bake the crust
Press the mixture firmly into the pan, including up the sides. Bake for about 25–30 minutes, until lightly browned.
Cool completely
Let the crust cool fully on a rack. If it’s warm, the creamy layers can melt and slide.
Make the cream cheese layer
Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the whipped topping and fold gently with a spatula to keep it light.
Spread over the crust
Spoon the cream layer onto the cooled crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate while you mix the pudding.
Whisk the pudding
In a bowl, combine the instant chocolate and vanilla pudding mixes. Pour in cold milk and whisk until thickened; let it sit for 5 minutes to set up.
Add the pudding layer
Pour the pudding over the cream layer and smooth the top with a spatula.
Chill and serve
Refrigerate at least 4 hours, or overnight for cleaner slices. Finish with chocolate shavings if you like, then slice and serve.
