By mamacasma

Ingredients

• 2 boxes (3.4 ounces each) chocolate cook-and-serve pudding mix
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 3-3/4 cups 2% milk
• 1 bag (6 ounces) black-and-white sandwich cookies (15 cookies; such as Milano)
• 2 cups pitted sweet cherries or raspberries (plus more for garnish)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine pudding mix, chocolate chips and milk in a medium-size saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until mixture comes to a full boil, about 12 minutes. Cool 5 minutes.

2. Spoon 1 cup pudding in bottom of an 8-cup bowl. Top with 7 cookies. Spread cookies with 3/4 cup pudding. Layer with 1 cup cherries or raspberries. Top with 1 cup pudding and remaining 8 cookies. Spread with last 3/4 cup pudding and remaining 1 cup fruit.

3. Cover bowl. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight. Remove from fridge and beat cream with sugar to medium-stiff peaks. Spread over pudding, leaving a small border at edge uncovered. Garnish with extra fruit. Serve chilled.
