Ingredients

• 2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated.

Step 3

Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch square pan to form the base layer.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, then let it cool completely.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

In another medium bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create the middle layer.

Step 7

Spread the cream cheese layer evenly over the cooled graham cracker crust. Place the pan in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes.

Step 8

Meanwhile, heat the heavy cream for the ganache in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Do not let it boil.

Step 9

Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the hot cream over the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

Step 10

Allow the ganache to cool for 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly but is still pourable.

Step 11

Spread the ganache over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 12

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours, or until fully set.

Step 13

Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your decadent Three Layer Dessert!
