Ingredients:
For the crust:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or digestive biscuit crumbs)
¼ cup sugar
⅓ cup melted butter
For the cream cheese layer:
8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups whipped cream (or whipped topping)
For the pudding layer:
1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups cold milk
For the topping:
1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)
Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the crust:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let it cool completely before adding the layers.
Make the cream cheese layer:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the whipped cream (or whipped topping) until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Spread this cream cheese mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust in an even layer.
Prepare the pudding layer:
In a separate bowl, whisk the instant vanilla pudding mix with the cold milk for 2 minutes, or until it thickens.
Carefully spread the pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer, smoothing it into an even layer.
Top with whipped cream:
Spread the remaining whipped cream over the pudding layer, smoothing it out to cover the entire surface.
Garnish with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder if desired.
Chill and serve:
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight, to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Corrections (if needed):
The original recipe might have had unclear instructions regarding the setting time of the dessert.
It’s essential to chill the dessert long enough to allow all the layers to firm up before serving.
Ensure that the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the cream cheese layer.
