Print Recipe

This no-bake layered treat is pure indulgence with its creamy filling, fudgy base, and crunchy chocolate topping—an easy dessert idea that’s dangerously addictive!

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Fudgy Base:
    • 1 packet (about 7 oz) chocolate cake or brownie crumbs (or crushed chocolate cookies)
    • 3 tbsp melted butter
    • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • For the Cream Layer:
    • 1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
    • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Chocolate Crunch Topping:
    • 1 1/4 cups milk chocolate (or semi-sweet), melted
    • 1 1/2 cups puffed rice cereal
    • 2 tbsp hazelnut spread (optional, for richness)

Instructions

  1. Mix cake crumbs, cocoa powder, and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a glass dish to create that easy brownie-like foundation for your ultimate layered dessert.
  2. Whip cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until fluffy peaks form. Spread over the base evenly for a light but luscious middle layer—perfect texture contrast.
  3. In a bowl, mix melted chocolate and hazelnut spread until smooth. Stir in puffed rice cereal. This layer brings next-level texture and chocolatey crunch factor.
  4. Spread the crispy chocolate mixture over the whipped cream layer. Use a spatula to smooth it out evenly—this is your showstopper topping that seals the deal.
  5. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving to set those layers. Slice and serve cold for the best no-bake crowd-pleaser you’ve ever made!

Notes

  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Hazelnut spread is optional but adds richness.
  • Use cold heavy cream for best whipping results.
