Description

This no-bake possum pie Cocoa Cream Stripe offers rich, cool layers of chocolatey indulgence, perfect for easy family meals and summer evenings. It is a delightful spin on a classic, providing a quick-to-assemble dessert that is guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies
  • 0.5 cup melted butter (or melted coconut oil for a dairy-free crust)
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese (full-fat for creamiest, reduced-fat for lighter version)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 (3.9 oz) packages instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 3 cups cold milk
  • 12 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (good quality for best visual and flavor)

Instructions

  1. Prepare The Crust: Crush chocolate sandwich cookies finely using a food processor or a Ziploc bag and rolling pin. Mix crumbs thoroughly with melted butter until moistened. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Chill the crust in the fridge for at least 15 minutes to set firmly.
  2. Make Cream Cheese Layer: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until wonderfully smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the 0.25 cup milk and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and creamy. Carefully spread this layer over your chilled cookie crust.
  3. Prepare Pudding Layer: In a separate bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding mix with 3 cups of very cold milk for about 2-3 minutes, until it visibly thickens. Carefully spread the thickened pudding over the cream cheese layer, making sure to be gentle to avoid mixing. (If your pudding is not setting quickly, ensure your milk is very cold and whisk vigorously for a bit longer.)
  4. Add Topping And Cocoa Stripe: Evenly spread the thawed whipped topping over the chocolate pudding layer. For the Cocoa Cream Stripe: use a fine-mesh sieve to dust cocoa powder in parallel lines across the whipped topping. Then, take a skewer or toothpick and draw lines perpendicular through the cocoa stripes for a beautiful feathered effect. You can also skip the stripe and just dust the whole top with cocoa powder or mini chocolate chips for a quicker finish.
  5. Chill For Perfection: Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled and set. This is crucial for the layers to firm up and for achieving clean, sturdy slices. The longer it chills, the better it sets, ensuring a truly delicious and stable dessert.

Notes

To ensure pudding sets quickly, use very cold milk and whisk vigorously. For the cocoa stripe, experiment with patterns or simply dust the entire top. Chilling for at least 4 hours (or overnight) is crucial for firm, clean slices.
