  2. Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
Make the pudding layer
  1. Whisk the pudding mix with 3 cups cold milk in a large bowl for 2 minutes.
  2. Let stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
Assemble and chill

Notes

For a smooth cream cheese layer, make sure the cream cheese is softened before beating. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended because the pudding and whipped topping can change texture. For a gluten-free variation, use gluten-free crisp sugar cookies.
