On top of that is a fluffy no-bake cheesecake layer and then rich chocolatey pudding. Whipped cream is spooned over the top as the final layer. The biggest changes I made to the original recipe were to double the amount of cream cheese in the cheesecake layer and make my chocolate pudding from scratch.

The original cheesecake layer is mostly whipped cream with some mild cream cheese flavors. I wanted to switch that ratio to a lot of cream cheese flavor and a little added fluffiness from the whipped cream. Making the chocolate pudding from scratch is the biggest improvement to this recipe.

The original recipe calls for instant pudding, which is fine in a pinch, but the flavor the Chocolate Junk gets from taking the time to make custard from scratch is so worth it! In total, it takes less than 15 minutes.

I also really like making my own chocolate pudding so I can seriously increase the punch of chocolate in the recipe. My love for Chocolate Junk runs so deep in fact that I decided to feature this recipe when I was recently chosen to present some recipes in a local magazine.

I knew immediately when they asked me for recipes to include that I wanted to share Chocolate Junk. But if you want to dress it up as I have in the photos here, I provided instructions below on how to make it both ways. Either way, I like to garnish my Chocolate Junk or Chocolate Cheesecake Trifle for an extra special finish.

Finely chopped pecans and dark chocolate shavings are the perfect finishing touch for this humble dessert. It is true that something called Chocolate Junk by nature cannot be pretentious or overly complicated, but it sure as hell can be blow-your-mind, decadent, TASTY!

Looks so delicious and would make a great dessert for Shavuot! Thanks, Natalie! That's a great idea about Shavuot. It's such a good dessert for feeding a big crowd. I use the same base recipe as you can find on my Chocolate Junk post which is just an easy shortbread crust that your press into the pan, no rolling required.

Print Recipe Pin Recipe. Prep Time 30 minutes mins. Cook Time 30 minutes mins. Chilling Time 6 hours hrs. Course Dessert.

Cuisine American. Servings 8 servings. Cream Cheese Filling 2 8-oz blocks cream cheese room temperature 1. Whipped Cream 1. Garnish optional 1 C pecans finely chopped dark chocolate bar.

To make the crust Preheat the oven to degrees. Add sugar, cinnamon, and salt to the melted butter and mix to combine. Add the flour and combine the ingredients with a fork to form large crumbles.

Add the finely chopped pecans and continue to mix until the pecans are well incorporated. To make individual trifles, press the crumbles together in a large rectangle shape on a baking sheet. Bake for minutes or until golden brown around the edges.

Set aside to cool. If making individual trifles, crumble half the crust into roughly half-inch pieces and the remaining half into fine crumbs resembling bread crumbs either in a food processor or by hand.

To make chocolate pudding Add 1. Bring the mixture to a simmer or until bubbles start to form around the outer edge. In a 4-cup liquid measuring cup, add the remaining ½ C milk, cornstarch, egg yolks, and salt.

Whisk well to combine and set aside until the cocoa and milk mix begins to simmer. Once ready, slowly add the hot cocoa mixture to the egg yolks and cornstarch, whisking constantly.

Once the two liquids are completely combined, add the liquid back to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil for approximately 90 seconds or until a thick custard forms. Place the chocolate chips, vanilla and coffee in a small mixing bowl and add the hot custard when ready.

Whisk the pudding together until the chocolate chips have completely melted and are well combined. Cover the pudding with plastic wrap so that the plastic is touching the surface of the pudding. Gather the ingredients.

Preheat the oven to F. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and the melted butter. Press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan.

Bake for 10 minutes. Cool completely before assembling the layers. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in half of the whipped topping until well blended. Spread the mixture over the cooled crust.

In another bowl, beat the pudding with the cold milk as directed on the package but using only 3 cups of milk. Spread the pudding over the cream cheese layer. Top the dessert with the remaining whipped topping and spread to cover completely. If desired, sprinkle with chopped pecans or walnuts.

Chill thoroughly before serving, about 2 hours. Recipe Tags:. Use limited data to select advertising. Create profiles for personalised advertising. Use profiles to select personalised advertising. Create profiles to personalise content.

I have had a rocky relationship with chocolate teas, because I find that they are very hit or miss with me. This tea seems good though, it smells extremely chocolatey, and has some sweet fruity notes to it. Oddly, it kind of reminds me of root beer? When steeped the color is… about the same as a standard black tea.

For some reason I was expecting something darker? Regardless, the black tea base comes through a lot stronger in the smell of the steeped tea. The flavor itself is quite interesting. For me the black tea is the dominant flavor, followed by some light, almost milk-chocolatey notes.

Not quite what I expected, but I still think that this is a solid chocolate tea that I might consider stocking up on if I have a craving for it. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there.

I went for the infused lip balms first…. This was just terrible. Bitter, sharp, indescribably strange, and the smell was fine in the bag but once I brewed it all that came out was the smell of artificial blueberry. I really wanted to like Dark Chocolate Delight but was disappointed. I found this upsetting because I really wanted to like this tea.

I had high hopes for this one because I really liked Hot Chocolate also by DAVIDsTEA. It is very rich and tastes of cocoa I mean VERY rich.

I can also taste milk, minerals, lots of tannins from the black tea, and something a bit sweet and spicy.

It was like drinking home made cocoa but with less sugar. Flavors: Chocolate, Cocoa, Dark Chocolate, Honey, Milk, Mineral, Nuts, Tannin. What can I say about Dark Chocolate Delight tea? Black tea and chocolate absolutely do go well together.

Just fabulous chocolaty tea. I do recommend this wonderful tea! I like both chocolate and black tea, but sadly, cannot taste very much of either flavour in this blend.

I looked at the ingredients list, and I think the two chilis ancho and chipotle overwhelm everything else to the point that this tea tastes spicy. Teas Places Discussions Explore. Learn More Sign Up Log in. Dark Chocolate Delight by DAVIDsTEA.
