Description

A decadent no-bake layered dessert featuring a chocolate cookie crust, smooth chocolate ganache, and a creamy raspberry layer topped with chocolate curls and fresh berries. Perfect for entertaining or indulging on a special weekend.


Ingredients

1 ½ cups crushed chocolate cookies (like Oreos)

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)

1 cup heavy cream (for ganache)

2 tablespoons sugar

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream, whipped

1 ½ cups fresh raspberries

½ cup dark chocolate shavings or curls

Extra raspberries for garnish


Instructions

  1. Mix crushed chocolate cookies with melted butter until well combined. Press into the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish. Chill in the fridge.
  2. In a saucepan, heat 1 cup heavy cream and sugar until it begins to simmer. Pour over chopped chocolate and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir until smooth to make ganache. Pour over crust and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in whipped cream, then fold in raspberries.
  4. Spread the raspberry cream mixture evenly over the set chocolate layer.
  5. Top with dark chocolate shavings and garnish with extra raspberries. Chill the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Swap raspberries with strawberries or blackberries for variety.

Use gluten-free chocolate cookies to make the crust gluten-free.

White chocolate can be used instead of semisweet chocolate for a sweeter version.

Add 1 tablespoon of raspberry liqueur to the cream layer for a boozy twist.

Can be made in mini cups for individual servings.

Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Not freezer-friendly.
