# How to Make It:

02 -
Stir the cookie crumbs with the melted butter until everything looks wet and well mixed.
03 -
Press the crumb mix firmly into an 8x8-inch dish, making sure it's flat and even. Pop it in the fridge while you work on the next part.
04 -
Using a bowl, mix the room temperature cream cheese with white sugar and vanilla until it's smooth with no lumps.
05 -
Carefully fold the heavy cream or whipped topping into the cream cheese mix until you can't see any streaks.
06 -
Take your crust from the fridge and spread the cream cheese mixture on top in an even layer.
07 -
In another bowl, mix the vanilla pudding powder with cold milk and whisk it until it starts to thicken up.
08 -
Pour and spread the thickened pudding over your cream cheese layer, making it nice and even.
09 -
Gently add the whipped topping as the final layer, spreading it all the way to the edges.
10 -
Finish by sprinkling some extra cookie crumbs on top and add colorful sprinkles or mini chocolate chips if you'd like. Chill it before cutting.
# Extra Suggestions:

Make sure your dairy stuff isn't cold from the fridge for the best creamy texture.

Pop the finished dessert in the fridge for at least an hour before cutting to get clean, pretty squares.
