Ingredients

• 20 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
• 8 ounces Lite cream cheese, softened
• 8 ounces Low-fat whipped topping
• 1 package (3.9 ounces) Fat-free instant chocolate pudding mix
• 2 cups Skim milk
• 6 pieces Gummi worms (for garnish, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Mini chocolate chips (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the crumbs for garnish and set both portions aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Add the whipped topping to the cream cheese and gently fold together until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the fat-free instant chocolate pudding mix and skim milk for about 2 minutes, or until the pudding begins to thicken.

Step 5

Gently fold the prepared chocolate pudding into the cream cheese and whipped topping mixture until fully incorporated.

Step 6

In small serving cups or a trifle dish, layer the dessert starting with a layer of crushed cookies, followed by the chocolate pudding mixture. Repeat until the containers are filled, ending with a layer of cookie crumbs on top.

Step 7

If desired, garnish with reserved cookie crumbs, gummi worms, and mini chocolate chips for a playful finish.

Step 8

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly. Serve cold and enjoy!
