Chocolate and Caramel Layered Dessert

Step 2: Make the Caramel Layer

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the caramels are completely melted and smooth.
  2. Pour the caramel over the chilled cookie base and spread evenly. Return to the fridge to set for 10 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the Chocolate Pudding Layer

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
  2. Spread the pudding evenly over the caramel layer. Chill for another 10 minutes.

Step 4: Make the Whipped Cream Layer

  1. In a large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  2. Spread the whipped cream evenly over the chocolate pudding layer.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Chill

  1. Garnish with chocolate shavings, crushed toffee bits, or drizzles of caramel and chocolate sauce, as desired.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight) to allow the layers to set.
