1 package chocolate-covered graham crackers
1 package (3.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk the cold milk and chocolate pudding mix for approximately two minutes until thickened, then refrigerate briefly to set.
In a separate large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and whipped topping together with a hand mixer until smooth; gradually incorporate the confectioners’ sugar and beat until the mixture is fluffy.
Line the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish with a single layer of chocolate-covered graham crackers, breaking them as needed to fit.
Spread one-third of the cream cheese mixture over the crackers and sprinkle with a quarter cup of chocolate cookie crumbs.
Add a second layer of graham crackers, then spread one-third of the chocolate pudding over them, followed by a layer of sliced strawberries and a quarter cup of toffee bits.
Repeat the layering process until the dish is filled, ending with a decorative arrangement of cracker shards, fresh strawberries, and the remaining cookie crumbs and toffee bits.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the crackers to soften into a cake-like texture before serving.

Notes

To achieve clean and professional slices, place the cake in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes before serving. Always ensure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature to guarantee a silky filling, and use ice-cold milk to help the instant pudding set firmly.
