# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Slice into squares and enjoy cold.
02 - Pop it in the fridge and wait at least two hours until it's good and cold.
03 - Add those pastel candies or gummy worms on top for a bright spring look.
04 - Sprinkle over the rest of those saved cookie crumbs so every bite gets some crunch.
05 - Spread the whole mix in a casserole dish and smooth out the top nice and even.
06 - Mix the leftover cookie bits into the creamy filling so they’re spread all through.
07 - Scoop out about 60 grams (roughly half a cup) of your crushed cookies and save for the topping.
08 - Crush the chocolate cookies inside a bag with a rolling pin or blitz them quick in a food processor.
09 - Fold the whipped topping into the mix just until the filling is super fluffy and blended.
10 - Pour the pudding mixture into the cream cheese bowl, then mix until it’s all smooth.
11 - Combine pudding powder with frigid milk in another bowl, whisking until it thickens up a little.
12 - Splash in the vanilla and give it a stir so every bit gets that vanilla kick.
13 - Slowly beat in your powdered sugar until it’s fully mixed in.
14 - Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip the cream cheese and the butter together until really smooth.
15 - Toss soft cream cheese and butter into a big bowl.

# Extra Tips and Tricks:

01 - Make sure your cream cheese and butter are super soft so the base is extra creamy.
02 - Leaving it in the fridge all night makes it firmer and easier to slice.
03 - Add a small pinch of salt to the cream mixture to cut through all the sweetness.
04 - Switch up the chocolate cookies with your favorite flavor for something new.
