Description

A decadent 7-layer dessert featuring rich chocolate, tangy raspberry, and creamy layers, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chocolate Layer:
  • 1.5 cups chocolate cookie crumbs
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • For the Cream Cheese Layer:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • For the Raspberry Layer:
  • 2 cups fresh raspberries (or frozen, thawed)
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • For the Chocolate Pudding Layer:
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 2 cups milk
  • For the Top Layer:
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • Chocolate shavings or raspberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine chocolate cookie crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish to form the crust.
  2. Cream Cheese Mixture: In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until well incorporated. Spread this mixture evenly over the crust layer.
  3. Raspberry Layer: In a separate bowl, mix the fresh raspberries with the raspberry jam until well combined. Spoon this mixture over the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly.
  4. Chocolate Pudding Layer: In a large bowl, whisk the chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups of milk for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Once thickened, pour it over the raspberry layer, spreading it evenly.
  5. Final Layer: Spoon the remaining whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer and spread it smooth.
  6. Garnish: If desired, garnish the top with chocolate shavings or additional raspberries to enhance the visual appeal.
  7. Chill: Cover the dessert with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the layers to set properly.
  8. Serve: Once set, slice into squares and serve chilled. Each slice will reveal the gorgeous layers you’ve created!

Notes

  • For the best flavor, opt for fresh raspberries when in season.
  • Chill your mixing bowls and beaters before making the cream cheese layer for a better whipped texture.
  • Garnish each individual serving with a mint leaf or drizzle of chocolate sauce for an elegant touch.
  • Substitute raspberries with strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor.
  • Add chocolate chips between the layers for more chocolate flavor.
  • Use plant-based cream cheese and whipped topping for a dairy-free version.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months, slicing before freezing.
