Ingredients

Scale
  • 18 oz Chocolate sandwich cookies (crushed)

Instructions

  10. When ready to serve, scoop out portions and enjoy this delightful dessert!

Notes

Ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to avoid lumps. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
